Tintner for the real Linz version (1866), Sawallisch (Orfeo) for the
so-called Linz version.

Tintner, Eichhorn (both the first version which is my favourite).
Asahina and Konwitschny are both terrific too.
>3. Inbal/FRSO
Oh no! Firstly this is the first version, which I have to admit I find a
bit too much. I much prefer the 1877 and 1878 versions (almost identical)
from Haitink, Sinopoli and Kubelik.
>4. Celibidache/Munich PO (EMI)
Actually my least favourite Bruckner symphony. I like Furtwangler's Munich
performance and of course the legendary Boehm.
>5. Furtwangler/BPO(1942)=Welser Most/LPO
Both emphasise the drama at the expense of the architecture (W-M more tha
Furtwangler). I'd add: Horenstein, Konwitschny, Jochum (pref the last,
on Tahra), Eicchorn's Capriccio recording, made live in St. Florian.
>6. NZSO/Tintner (despite the playing/poor editing)=Furtwangler/BPO (not

Klemperer, Sawallisch.
>7. Knappertbusch/VPO (1949)=Karajan/BPO (EMI)
Rosbaud, Eichhorn, Tintner.
>8. Wand/NDRSO (live Lubeck Cathedral)=Horenstein/LSO (live)
Somehow I never find Wand's commercially-released recordings quite
convincing - the adagio in the Lubeck performance is great but the rest
doesn' IMHO match up. I'd certainly agree with Horenstein and would add:
Furtwaengler (1944), Abendroth, Jochum (1948) and a host of off-air
recordngs.

Try Eichhorn on Camerata - also great performances of the first three
movements.
