the Zuckerman and Pearlman accounts are quite well done
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

It's been a while that I listened to it but I found the Hefeitz/Koussevitzky in the Naxos transfer very listenable, as far as I recall it above average for a 1939 orchestral recording.
A rather lean and flowing modern recording is Zehetmair/Dohnanyi.
Tout le malheur des hommes vient d'une seule chose, qui est de ne savoir pas demeurer en repos, dans une chambre.
