I cut my teeth on the Mehta version

When I was a teen, Advent referenced it in their brochure as to how the speaker could reproduce the 32 hz opening pedal.

"The low-frequency capabilities of the Advent Loudspeaker are the usable equivalent of any speaker's. Specifically, it will reproduce the 30 Hz organ pedal note that begins Richard Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra as room shakingly as one could ask, providing, as in the case of London CS-6609, the note is actually present on the record. "

While the Einleitung is what most folks recognize, I enjoy the entire tone poem.

I now have several versions but this one remains my favorite musically.
