It is immensely popular and has many great recordings. However, l if your looks for another immensely popular and well–recorded work, let say Mozart 40 symphony, then you will not find among tones of recordings a lot of truly good recordings. With Erotica is different – there are MANY of good recordings.
I do not know this particular Horenstein’s recording but a few great Third that come to my mind with no particular order:

Koussevitzky 1945 with Boston
Toscanini 1939 and 1953 with NBC
Scherchen 1958 with Vienna
Kabasta 1943 with Munich
Weingartner 1936 with Vienna
Erich Kleiber 1950s with Vienna and Concertgebouw
Furtwangler 1944 with Vienna
 
My very personal currant favorite is from 1992 where German Brunswick led by Melles and a live broadcast with SF lead by MMT 2 years back. We are lucky that this great peace has so many great versions.
