Addendum: does this exist anywhere on CD (or mp3, for that matter)? I searched, but only found it as part of a 10-CD set.

Phenomenal performance -- instantly one of my favorites of this extraordinary masterpiece. I've heard many recordings, and this ranks among the top 2 or 3. Love Oistrakh, love Schubert, and love the Fantasy -- such a varied, haunting, magical, and devilishly difficult piece. The opening alone is one of the most beautiful and profound in all chamber music.
