I am a fan of the last Karl Bohm/Vienna Philharmonic recording of this work, 
DG 2741 009.  In fact, this is the last recording Bohm made, period.  Soloists
are Jessye Norman, Brigitte Fassbaender, Placido Domingo, and Walter Berry,
and the Vienna State Opera concert choir provides backup vocals.

I heard Karajan's latest Ninth the other day; I'm afraid he's losing it in 
his old age...
