I think he wanted to, but did not have the opportunity. Since your last
post I have been in touch with Ms. Tanya Tintner (the late conductor's
wife) who has kindly allowed me to post the following from a private
exchange.

That is correct. I tried VERY hard to get RSNO to give him a
concert with B8 Haas, and then Naxos could record it, as that
is what Georg wanted to do next (symphony-wise anyway), but
somehow they never came up with a date.

He did it with the McGill University Orchestra a few years ago.
It seems they recorded it and lost it, or a student took it, or
who the hell knows. I can't help thinking he did it somewhere
in Australia, but I can't think where (it was in my time) but
in any case if he did, there is no recording.
Of the three versions, he preferred Haas.

Georg did only B4 with the NZSO in concert, but Radio NZ does
not have it, at least I have not been able to locate it. And
their cataloguing is pretty good. He did almost no concerts with
the NZSO, in fact, conducting ANYTHING.
He did a little more Bruckner with ABC orchestras in Australia,
but there are no recordings of any of them.
