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

Knappertsbusch always conducted the inauthentic Schalk edition.

There have been only a few other recordings of what I suppose is now considered a curiosity.

"it is generally agreed that most of the changes were unapproved by Bruckner and inauthentic. Schalk generally made Bruckner's music sound more Wagnerian, mainly by means of reorchestration. The most obvious differences occur in the coda of the Finale. In the last few pages, Schalk adds triangle and cymbals, and an offstage brass band. Schalk also made several cuts, mostly in the Finale."

I do like the Knappertsbusch recording of this on Decca, though.

There's a live Klemperer 8th without cuts and in good mono on the Medici Masters label.
