It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Have heard the 3 and 8...

3 was not my recording, but rather an informal "Konzertmitschnitt" that was released by Gramola after the fact. I was engaged the following summer 2014 to record 8 in 5.0 surround and summer 2015 to record 9 -- both of those are out now on Gramola SACD. I recorded 6 in summer 2016, and it is scheduled for release in a few weeks. This coming August we will record 5 and in 2017, Symphony 7. These are the only Bruckner symphony recordings recorded in the Basilika of St Florian and intended from the start as high-res surround sound. A few video productions (Cleveland Orchestra) done in the Basilika have multichannel soundtracks derived from a multi-miced TV production (Video producers hate to se mics in their camera shots, thus the resort to many closely spaced mics for the sound pickup.), but do not sound either realistic or very coherent, IMO. Opinions on this vary, of course. My recordings use just 5 omnidirectional Neumann condenser mics, carefully placed, which feed individually and directly into each of 5 inputs on the digital recorder. No EQ, no signal modification whatsoever.
