There is a 13 year old Russian kid who plays the whole thing, solo, and orchestral accompaniment, on the accordion, yes, accordion,
I'm not kidding about this. It was some of the best playing I have ever heard on any instrument lately.

I'm partial to Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg's version myself.

I would go with Oistrakh too (David, that is). There are some very serviceable CD remasterings of Oistrakh's old 1960s recording available on a variety of labels (some of them in box sets). I would suggest the 'Historical Russian Archives – Violin Concertos' 10-CD set (available for a bargain price on Amazon) which, as well as Oistrakh's classic 1968 recording of the Tchaikovsky with Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, also includes the following:
Bartók No 1 (USSR SO/Rozhdestvensky, 1960, mono)
Beethoven (USSR SO/Rozhdestvensky, 1962, stereo)(plus the 2 romances)
Bruch – Scottish Fantasy (USSR SO/Rozhdestvensky, stereo)
Chausson- Poème (USSR SO/Kondrashin, 1948, mono)
Dvořák (USSR SO/Kondrashin, 1949, mono)
Glazunov (USSR SO/Kondrashin, 1947, mono)(plus Mazurka-Oberek)
Hindemith (USSR SO/Rozhdestvensky, 1962, stereo)
Kabalevsky (USSR SO/Eliasberg, 1949, mono)
Lalo – Symphonie espagnole (USSR SO/Kondrashin, mono)
Mendeslssohn (USSR SO/Kondrashin, 1949, mono)
Myaskovsky (USSR SO/Gauk, 1939, mono)
Prokofiev No 1 (Moscow PO/Kondrashin. 1963, stereo)
Ravel – Tzigane (USSR SO/Rozhdestvensky, 1060, mono)
Shostakovich No 1 (Leningrad PO/Mravinsky, 1956, mono)
Shostakovich No 2 (Moscow PO/Kondrashin, 1968, stereo)
Sibelius (Moscow RSO/Rozhdestvensky, 1966, stereo)(another great classic recording)
Stravinsky (Moscow PO/Kondrashin, 1963, stereo)
Szymanowski No 1 (USSR SO/Sanderling, 1960, mono)
Taneyev – Suite de concert Op 28 (USSR SO/Sanderling, 1960, mono)
I know there are a lot of old mono recordings here, but they have cleaned-up surprisingly well. And, of course, you have some of the greatest performances ever.
