I have Schubert's 9th by the following:

London Symphony Orchestra/Joseph Krips
Berlin Philharmonic/Gunter Wand
Berlin Philharmonic/Karl Böhm
Unknown Orchestra/Unknown Conductor (girlfriend's copy; she burned a CD without noting any details)

I rank them in that order and by far the most "majestic" is the LSO/Krips 1958-59 performance; there might be an interpretation you like better, but this is the one that best corresponds to how I would like to hear it. Its a stereo recording and does not suffer from that "we-put-the-mic-in-the-next-room" sound that is sometimes the case with older (and some newer) orchestral recordings. I would not have guessed from the quality of the sound that it was recorded so long ago.
