Scott,
Unfortunately Bruno Walter is not my guy, and particularly on Richard Strauss and therefore I would not help you. However, I would suggest you to find a different, more productive venue to research performances after those “just heard” exper...

A friend sent me a link to an interesting video about Bruckner
on analog. I do not know who the guy is; he is a Bruckner devotee, which is

I remember when hearing Mahlers 2nd. for the first time.
It was Bernsteins recording with LSO from 1974 (?)
Liner notes from Bruno Walter.
