It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

I still like the one I imprinted on at 15: Horowitz/Ormandy, clunkers and all

I bought the Lp because the cover attracted me. Ormandy was also a trusted, household name, at least in my household. I just found a sealed copy a couple of months ago and Horowitz' phrasing fit like an old, warm glove. RCA's live recording isn't bad.

I, too, didn't come to grips with the 3rd right away, esp. on the heels of the 2nd. The two ecstatic outbursts--early mov't 1 and mid-mov't 2--caught my ear right away but that was about it.

Rach's later, more "tart" sound came as a bit of an off-putting shock.

The only performance I've enjoyed as much since is Santiago Rodriquez' (sp). Great balance between the lush and the lively, IMHO. The usual suspects leave me cold.
