Almost sold this without giving it a try ... in my opinion NOT boring ... Schiff plays with a lot of passion and power ! Good synergy ...
I don't know this recording but Bruckner's music and 'Böhm' are a perfect match. I recently heard his 7'th recording from he 40's ... it's so real ... and perfect. Also have to mention Eduard von Beinum (Philips) as idiomatic.
