I have Rattle's also.  But Ozawa's version flogs that one thoroughly. 

Among the three that you have, do you have a preferred version, @Chuck Nessa?

Haven't listened in a while, but probably Ozawa 'cause that's the first I heard back circa 1970.

Listening to this disc, two things become clear:  One, Tintner is an exceptional conductor of Bruckner's music, especially with regards to pacing. Two, the Royal Scottish NO is a REALLY good orchestra.  Such gorgeous sounds!
