There is a recording of the opera in the catalogue already, a very credible one from 1987 with Gerd Albrecht conducting. This has Julia Varady as Olimpie and Dietrich Fischer Dieskau as Antigone. But it is cut (the present recording is also slightly cut, but not as significantly as the 1987 one) and the performance style does veer a little to much towards Italian bel canto.

The 1821 and 1826 versions utterly reverse the events of the 1819 version, replacing a tragic ending—in which the three virtuous characters die and the evildoer, gnawed by regret, lives on—with a happy ending in which all but the evildoer survive. The 1819 version survives in a piano-vocal score. Perhaps some enterprising scholar-orchestrator will orchestrate the sections unique to the 1819 version (mainly in Act 3) and stitch them together with the sections of the 1826 revision that survive more or less intact. I’d buy that recording eagerly!
