JP,
Try the 1990 performance by the Vienna Philharmonic with Bernard Haitink conducting. Its still available new on CD. Sound quality is excellent; interpretation very much to my liking, but that is subjective.
The same performance was later offered along with Bruckner's N° 8 (same orchestra and direction), packaged as a double CD and it too is still available; I have not heard the performance of the 8th under Haitink, but judging by the N° 3 performance, there's every reason to be optomistic. I have a copy of the 1985 performance of Bruckner's 8th by the Vienna Philharmonic under Carlo Maria Giulini; as is often the case when giulini is conducting, I find it excellent (really excellent; sensitive and exuisite). One of these days I'll get my hands on a copy of the Haitink version.
