I'm a big fan (BTW - anyone get to hear the CSO Bruckner 8th from last weekend?)
A few random recs
The Bruckner 6th by Furtwangler (missing the first movement!) is phenomenal even as a stump.
Schuricht's Bruckner, especially the 8th, is outstanding.
Mravinsky had a fabulous 8th as well, and a quite awful 9th.
Klemperer's eighth is great through the first 3 movements, but then he decided to do his own edits for the last movement. In my opinion, his cuts were disfiguring.
I have yet to hear a completely convincing 5th. Definitely the problem child in Bruckner's work.
Unlike a lot of recs, I am not at all sold on Gunter Wand's Bruckner (OTOH, I really like Wand's Beethoven)
I wonder whether Bruckner's great weakness may be his lack of interest in compositions for solo instruments/chamber pieces.
I have always felt that one of Bruckner's great influences was Schubert, and conductors who get that are more likely to transmit the conductors intentions.
