The original 1887 version was edited by Nowak! (Nowak also edited the
revised 1890 version). As far as I know, Tintner only made two recordings,
both of the 1887 version. In addition to the Naxos recording, he made
a recording with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, which was
released on a Jubal LP
Tintner Nat'l Youth Orch Canada 31/8/82
Jubal LP 50034 ................. 84:47 - 16:25 14:11 31:15 22:56
(see the Bruckner discography at

I do not know if a live recording with New Zealand or with the RSNO
exists. In fact, he probably did not perform it with those orchestras.
The non-existence of a Haas B8 (1890) with Tintner (the edition he
preferred) is very sad indeed.
