Which recording of Die Tote Stadt should I buy?

Hi! I'm hoping to get some recommendations from you about which recording of Die Tote Stadt to buy...
I heard a small excerpt on The Big Lebowski soundtrack - "Gluck Das Mir Verblieb" performed by Ilona Steingruber, Anton Dermota and the Austrian State Radio Orchestra, courtesy of Cambria Master Recording, and it was the most beautiful thing I've heard!
I haven't heard any Korngold other than this excerpt, so I am just beginning my aquaintance with him as a composer...
I have looked for the recording from Cambria, but I can't find the whole opera with these performers. Does anyone know if there is a complete recording with Ilona Steingruber, Anton Dermota and the Austrian State Radio Orchestra available to buy? Or would you recommend a different recording altogether?!
Many thanks in advance for your insights and your help!
Anna
