Love the Piece, Loathe the Recording

I adore the Rhapsody in Blue. It is such an essential part to one's musical repertoire, but the recording isn't all that great. Some passages, like the cadenza, sound fairly decent, but overall, the quality is poor and I don't care for Torodov's overall interpretation, but I am forced to...

What is better than Gershwin?
