I want to suggest the decca phase four stereo Robert sharples London orchestra version from the 60s
Kind of hard to find, but imo, this is the definitive version of it. It has some overdriven and murky sections, but the pacing, instrumentation, stereo spread, and imaging is hot sex. It's not that realistic but I don't give a fuck. Also, YouTube probably isn't the best for this sort of listening, but it mostly gets the point across, and I couldn't find this recording on any streaming service. A very fun listen to just get lost in.
Edit: 5:50 is the start of the dance of the sugar plum fairy

That is a great version.
Am I going insane or does it sound like the microphones were below the instruments? I know how mental that sounds but the whole way through I felt like the orchestra were slightly above me.
Ha. Not for me, but I'm not surprised. This stuff was all mastered for the 60s and whatever "hifi" meant at that time. Put a single tissue paper over your tweeters and return to the 60s hahaha
