Any of these three (Link to article) would play quite well as the only release in your library. Being unaware your digital playback capability I'd lean towards a download of the HDTT. If you can playback the SACD 2ch layer the newer digital recordings may be funner.
Ah thank you Rando for the excellent suggestions--yes I should have mentioned I have The Naim CD555 so CD is fine for now.
My Vinyl is in hiatus in the meantime.
Much appreciated I'm going to search your suggestions

Truth is there are almost too many recordings to choose from. As a CD option you might also consider this Reference Recordings disc coming closer to a demonstration disc than enjoyable concert program(s) nudged at previously.
Forgot to add my own three disc endeavor in the previous post.

In general, I prefer the remastering/reissues of Stereo Sound magazine in Japan much more than those from Esoteric.
The above Rossini 6 Sonate A Quattro boxset is remastered by Mr.Jonathan Stokes and the producers are from Stereo Sound magazine Japan.
If one looks hard enough, one never knows what might pop up in their library. Suppose I could have opted to sneak in a new purchase off CPO. EVA (Evergreen Airways) is the passenger and air freight line of Evergreen Group.
Nearing the end of collecting all 18 discs from this "vanity label", M?A (Michael J. Antonello) Productions, featuring the namesake playing his personal Stradivarius and Guarneri violins. May have to keep the wrapper on other five and track down some playing copies.
Harkening back to the early days of this thread. I'm greatly enjoying the contents of DG's 100 Jahre Salzburger Festspiele box.

In which we find this from the author of the 'new' editions of Beethoven vionlin sonatas, who wants to bring back the spirit of muscians from an earlier time playing Beethoven:
Maybe he never heard Horowitz. He made mistakes all the time, although they were fixed in the editing room. Mistakes not so much from being bold as from playing some really difficult music.

He very much means physical fear of making mistakes. Need to be bold, expose oneself in the fullest lest you be judged, chasing your example into hard reality of today, artificially perfecting a work. A power once held over performers by the sputtering energy stored in rotting produce. Big gory forceful dissections preventative of modern disease killing the arts.
A few wrong notes in the midst of an inspired performance is human, laudable. Replacing a real clanger on recordings is equally so.
Had this in my pile of recordings to get around to for a while. A gentle Easter Sunday morning matched up well.
Yesterday it was a streaming of concert by Polish renowned tenor Piotr Beczala , still available on YT for next 36 hours or so. The concert was registered on 27 th of March in Warsaw.
The mixt of famous Polish and Italian / French arias together with some orchestral music. Enjoy.
