I recently realised I didn't have a recording of Beethoven's 4th Symphony, so bought a couple: Karajan's '62 DG recording paired with Eroica, and Walter's '58 with the Columbia Symphony, paired with Pastoral.

Both fine recordings that come with any number of recommendations. But what about modern recordings? It was hearing Kent Nagano talk about the 4th that got me started, and he has made a recording. Any other contemporary recordings you've enjoyed?
