You'll get the usual suspects--multiple recordings of Jochum, Karajan, Haitink, Skrowaczewski, Schuricht (8), lots of others, but just in case no one mentions them, Bohm 4 for sure, 3, as well, though his 7 & 8 are not as good. Also consider Solti's underrated 7th with the VPO. Also check out Celibidache and Giulini (slow). And Klemperer 4 (but not 8). For curiosity, the "original versions" before the popular revisions of 4 and 8 with Russel Davies or Inbal (not so much Tintner). Many more, but I'm on my way out the door.
