収集している指揮者の一人。
独Polydor時代、英Columbia/HMV時代、米Columbia時代と大量に録音を残してますが、特に戦前盤を集めてます。
手元の音源をいくつか公開します。

One of the conductors I am collecting.
He has left behind a large number of recordings from his time with Polydor in Germany, Columbia/HMV in the UK, and Columbia in the USA, but I especially collect pre-war records.
I will release some of the audio recordings I have on hand.

Bruno Walter - ADAGIETTO (from Symphony No.5) (Mahler) [Victor 12319](January 15, 1938)

ウィーン脱出直前の録音です。この音はこの時代までしか聞けません。
マトリクス番号2VH7049/50は次の日の交響曲9番より後の番号になります。9番はたしか本番前のリハをやっていたと記憶してます。何やら9番にマイクのバランスが似ているかも？いつか検証してみます。
テイク番号が両面ともにⅡAで、Ⅰが15日録音、Ⅱは16日録音だったかもなんて想像してみたり。。
以上ただの妄想ですが、Ⅰの別テイクあるなら聴いてみたい。素晴らしい録音芸術です。

This is a recording made just before fleeing Vienna. This sound can only be heard up to this era.
The matrix numbers 2VH7049/50 come after the numbers for Symphony No. 9 recorded the next day. I recall that Symphony No. 9 was being rehearsed before the actual performance. Perhaps the microphone balance is similar to Symphony No. 9? I will verify this sometime.
The take numbers are II A on both sides, and I imagine that Side I was recorded on the 15th and Side II on the 16th...
These are just mere speculations, but if there are alternate takes for Side I, I would like to listen to them. It is wonderful recording artistry.

Bruno Walter - CONCERTO IN D MINOR (Mozart) (K.466) [Victor AM 420](May 7, 1937)

当録音ではワルターのピアノが聞けます！ベーゼンでしょうか。ウィーンフィルとともに甘美に響き渡って、空間に溶けて行くさまが美しいです。
元の音源はピッチ変動で内周にかけて落ちていく面などもあり、復刻するにあたり1-2楽章をA=447Hz、3楽章を448Hzに合わせています。

In this recording, you can hear Walter's piano! Perhaps it's Beesen. The piano resonates sweetly alongside the Vienna Philharmonic, beautifully melting into the space. The original source had sides where the pitch fluctuated and gradually fell toward the inner groove. In preparing the transfered, I have tuned the 1st and 2nd movements to A=447Hz and the 3rd movement to 448Hz.

Bruno Walter - GERMAN DANCES NOS. 1、2 & 3 (K.605) (Mozart) [His Master's Voice D.A.1570](May 4, 1937)

ワルターとウィーン・フィルの組み合わせでは後日の5日にハイドンの奇跡、7日にモーツァルトのピアノ協奏曲第20番を録音しています。
若干マイクのバランスが異なることから、A,B面は通しの録音ではなく別日か同日別セッションかもしれません。
モノクロニッパーで、初版ではないのですが、英HMVでこれだけノイズが少ない盤は珍しいです。

In the collaboration between Walter and the Vienna Philharmonic, they recorded Haydn's "The Miracle" on the 5th and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 on the 7th at a later date. Due to slight differences in microphone balance, sides A and B may not have been recorded in a single session but possibly on different days or in separate sessions on the same day. Although it's not the first edition, it is a monocronepper pressing, and having such low noise on an HMV UK record is rare.

1930年にベルリンフィルと3つの録音を行っています。
市場にあまり出回っていないサロメが手に入ったので、まとめて公開します。
グレイのディスコグラフィによると、録音は1930年2月14日でベートーヴェンザールにて行われたそうです。

In 1930, Walter made three recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic.
I obtained a record of "Salome" that is not widely available on the market, so I uploaded them all together
According to Gray's discography, the recording was made on February 14, 1930, at the Beethoven Hall.
