Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8B572976288776C9 Pierre Boulez conducts Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) Part 1: The Adoration of the Earth (Introduction) Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala Milan, 2006
There's actually two recordings of Mehta with the NY Philharmonics - an older one from the seventies, which lacks recording quality (the bass drum and timpani are too washed out), and a newer one from the early nineties, which is of better technical quality, but sounds a bit more "dry" concerning the interpretation. The "Dancing out of the Earth" and the Sacrificial Dance from the 70's recording are the best ones I know.
I have Igor Stravinsky's own recording of this work- it might not be the best i some respects, but still there is something uniquely compelling about having the composer's own "interpretation".
@thetimpanikid I have Mehta and LA Phil (interesting ... coming around in a full circle?). Other's are more Aggressive than Mehta's, but he's the best for colour and atmosphere I'd say.
There are far worse recordings than Salonen...trust me...and Dutoit is not the best recording. Dutoit will never have the best recording. I personally like this one along with Zubin Mehta and NY Phil.

@musoderelict Please... you have got to be kidding me! Salonen is perhaps the WORST version! The Best available on CD is Dutoit + MSO.

Before this I thought Salonen's the best ever interpretation. Now I'm confused.
