Description
Limited 77 CD box set. He was Mahler’s disciple and friend in Vienna before World War I, then went on to become one of the most illustrious conductors of the century. Accordingly, the recordings that Bruno Walter made for American Columbia between 1941 and 1961, the year before his death, have always enjoyed a special authoritative status. Sony Classical presents his entire Columbia Masterworks discography together for the first time in a single release of 77 CDs, with his complete stereo recordings on 31 CDs newly remastered from the original 2- and 3-track analogue tapes and 29 mono recordings remastered from the original analogue master discs and tapes using 24 bit / 192 kHz technology, presenting many early recordings for the first time on CD on Sony Classical. The set includes a hard-cover illustrated 200-page coffee-table book with an essay by Bruno Walter scholar Erik Ryding, photos and facsimiles from the New York Philharmonic archives, full discographical notes, work index and a Bruno Walter / Columbia discography, as well as 8 CDs with a collection of interviews and rehearsal excerpts.
