There are many that are good. Leonard Rose's is outstanding (Philadelphia/Ormandy on Sony), however my personal favorite is Zara Nelsova's. She recorded it three times- twice with London, one of these is with the composer conducting, the other is with Ansermet, and once with the Utah Symphony under Abravanel. Bloch was particularly moved by her interpretation and said something to the effect of- if he played it, that is exactly how he would do it.
