You may be skeptical, but two excellent recordings without the Auer cuts. . .

Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

. . . are by J-Fi and Nicola:

You can tell from the third-movement timings how much Auer cut: J-Fi and Nicola both take slightly over 10 minutes, while Heifetz gets through the Auer version in 8:13 (and not just because he's playing faster!). That's a pretty substantial difference. Mullova's 1985 Philips recording with Ozawa gets through the uncut version in 9:42 - that's another good version, although a couple of critics accused Mullova of being an ice princess in this performance ;-) . . . and the engineering, while OK, isn't as good as on the newer recordings.
