The complete concert of April 8, 1939. WAGNER: Faust Overture, Siegfried Idyll; MAHLER: Symphony No. 1. 2010 digital restorations. First releases! This performance of the Mahler First, by Mahler"s protege Bruno Walter, followed close upon the great Viennese live recordings of Das Lied von der Erde and the Ninth, all three are in Walter"s pre-war mercurial and passionate style. A must for admirers of the conductor who had heard Mahler himself play and conduct the symphony, and who had done perhaps more than any other musician of his time to promote the work of this composer. A previously unreleased recording in excellent sound!
