Recorded Performances of Bruno Walter (1876–1962) Compiled by James Altena, Steven Reveyoso, and Erik Ryding The following list—a supplement to the biography Bruno Walter: A World Elsewhere, by Erik Ryding and Rebecca Pechefsky (Yale University Press, 2001; paperback, University of Nebraska Press, 2006)—is intended to show what is currently known to have been recorded by Walter. Along with the well-known studio recordings, it includes live recordings issued by independent labels as well as those now in archives or in private collections. We have not listed every reissue of every recording, which would have made this list extremely long and cumbersome, but have nevertheless tried to note all the important releases and to include verified recordings of every performance captured on disk or tape. As a result, this listing contains far more entries than any other Walter discography yet issued, though it omits matrix numbers—given in Pickett, Arnold, and andante.com, cited below.
We owe special thanks to Michael Gray, James North, Rolland Parker, David Pickett, Jon Samuels, and Don Tait, who provided much invaluable information. In addition, the following discographies, listed in reverse chronological order, have proved indispensable:
Rémy Louis, “Bruno Walter au disque,” Diapason 415, supplement (May 1995): xiv–xviii
“Discografia di Bruno Walter,” prefaced by Umberto Masini, Musica 8 (June 1984): 32–39
David A. Pickett, “A Bruno Walter Discography—Part One: Commercial Recordings: Issued Discs Only,” revised by Richard Warren Jr. (Bruno Walter Society, 1973)
Robert C. Marsh, “The Heritage of Bruno Walter,” High Fidelity 14 (1964): 44–48, 103–9
F. F. Clough and G. J. Cuming, “Diskography,” Gramophone Record Review (August & September 1959): 718–19, 824
The online discography presented by andante.com has also supplied many valuable details and is highly recommended. Another important resource for acoustic recordings is Claude Arnold’s The Orchestra on Record, 1896–1926 (Westport, Conn.: Greenwood Press, 1997). An admirable new Walter discography is included in Michele Selvini’s Bruno Walter: La porta dell’eternità (Milan: Fondazione Culturale della Collina d’Oro, 1999–2001), Volume 3. (Though currently available only in Italian, this book is a must for Walterians and is surely the most beautiful tribute ever produced to honor a musician.)
In several instances, we have listed recordings now in private collections. Some of these are cassettes and CDRs that have circulated among collectors, others unique acetates that have never reached more than a handful of listeners. We hope that these precious sound documents will eventually find a larger audience.
We have sometimes supplied information in brackets where dates and venues seemed likely but not certain.
This listing is, by its nature, an ongoing project. A few archival sources must be more thoroughly examined; moreover, previously unknown recordings are continually being uncovered, and new releases featuring Walter performances are issued almost monthly. This discography will be regularly updated, and further entries will include Walter’s spoken-word recordings.
The current version, launched on April 15, 2001, runs to some eighty printed pages. Naturally the compilers of this list welcome further additions, comments, corrections, and queries. Those wishing to contact us should address their comments to walteriana@aol.com.
We would like to extend our thanks to Satoru Aihara, Bruno Barthelmé, Lesley Chamberlain, Gabor Danos, Rob DeLand, Eric Grunin, Jim Hollis, Danno Katsuyuki, Mark W. Kluge, Thomas McCarthy, Paul Miller, Joseph A. Moore, Kazuo Ohmi, Dana Prescott, Gary Simons, Koho Uno, and Jeffrey Work for their very helpful comments, recommendations, and contributions.
