They are different recordings. The music Sandor recorded for Sony was later
in his career and is supposedly inferior (at least technically) to what is
available on Vox.

Kocsis on Philips and Ranki on Teldec are definitely paths to explore.
And then there's Bartok himself who recorded a couple of them (CBS/Sony).
The CD also includes the Contrasts trio, with Szigeti and Benny Goodman (!).
