I do not know how about to “compare”.  I did not have the box set that you have and I did not hear the specific recording you refer to. It might be fine performance. My comment before was based upon my other Celibidache Bruckner.

Frankly Bruckner 3 is generally not something that I would strive and I consider it the weakest Bruckner symphony. Not the weakest as “weakest” but rather in the Third Bruckner did not express anything that he did not express in other symphonies and in my view he did it better in other symphonies. It is in my view.

If you like the Third, less concerned about “crisp horns, clear woodwinds, bass lines easy to follow and … realistic dynamic” and more concern about the proper Bruckner interpretation than try to find SWR Symphony under Hans Zender from 2005. It is on “Charter Oak Recording” COR-545. The recording is available from ABruckner.com exclusively.
