It's been released by EMI before, c'w Schuricht's 9.  He also recorded a 7
before the war.

Although I enjoy CS's Bruckner, it is a little "straight" for my taste.
His Beethoven (complete cycle on EMI), is very fine and, if you try really
hard, you can find live Mahler 2 & 3 which are well worth the price of
admission.
