This is a mono recording of Bruckner's Eighth Symphony and Debussy's La Mer, conducted by Bruno Walter with the Philiharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York (predecessor of the New York Philiharmonic of Leonard Bernstein fame). According to Discogs, these recordings date from January 1941, and they are rough--this should be considered equivalent to a '70s rock concert bootleg or Mayhem's Live in Leipzig in terms of sound quality, not the luxurious stereo recordings of the '50s and '60s. The sound is mono, reedy, and harsh. This record was produced by Music Educational Associates for the Bruno Walter Society, and was clearly aimed at aficionados of Walter's conducting and classical music history more than the casual listener. The discs are graded NM. The jacket is graded VG, with significant ring wear and a record store price sticker on the back. Both discs have been cleaned, spot-graded on a Merrill-Williams REAL 101 turntable, and put into Discwasher VRP rice paper antistatic inner sleeves. A new 5 mil outer sleeve is provided.
