I came to Bruckner through the 6th symphony. In the late 70s I splurged on Solti's recording. I couldn't usually afford the premium priced LPs.
To highlight some favorites: pride of place goes to the truncated Furtwangler. Yes it is missing the first movement, but the last three movements are terrific. I keep hoping that the first move,meant will turn up some day. Also note that the sound is terrific considering its WWII vintage.
Trivia: Fritz Reiner had scheduled a recording of it but it was not to be.
The recording I listen to most often is the Klemperer.
