As an amusing aside - how many of the Manchester audience would have believed the sight of the late Martin Milner (leader of the Halle on that film) playing the fruit machines in the Sir Henry Royce pub across the road? Certainly the film brings back many memories - few of the players in shot are still alive. I know that it is getting away from Bruckner 8 but have a look at this:
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
The late Syd King on 1st cornet - cheeks blown out in the way that we have told countless children not to do; a wonderfully old fashioned Lancashire character who used to bring his grandson for his trumpet lesson at the Northern School of Music and carefully comb the boy's hair before he went in so that he was clean and tidy for his teacher the late Cecil Kyd. Now they are usually designer-scruffy when they come for their lessons! Sorry, I will stop now - back to Bruckner!

It was re-shown back in 1992 when Alan Bennett was allowed to take over BBC2 for one Saturday evening, iirc.

Favourites?
Karajan VPO - Haas
Celibidache - Novak
Boulez VPO - Haas
Bohm Tonhalle - Novak
Asahina Osaka PO (today!!) - Haas
So in terms of my favourites, it's pretty evenly split between Haas and Novak
.
Added the Philips (duo) Haitink PO last year and the Giulini BPO live. And the Gielen cycle that was a real bargain as a download. I haven't investigated the Jaap van Zweden.
Having read through the whole thread again, I decided to buy the Haitink live RCO. I've never heard it but Alison likes it so I should be alright!
