My favorite set out of the eight that I have purchased on vinyl over the past year is conducted by Bruno Walker.
Both sound and performance.
The second would be Sir George Solti conducting the Chicago Symphony.
The other six in no order.
Otto Klemperer
Herbert Van Karajan
Leonard Bernstein
George Szell
Rafael Kubelik
Karl Bohm
Yes, eight is enough of the nine symphonies-for me.
