Wow, that Brahms 4th has a wonderful clarity of articulation. You are doing a great service to us all in sharing these Walter performances which are NOT his later Columbia recordings. Thank you Guido!
I already personally own this compact disk so won't DL; but you are indeed offering a great item!
I had the Victor 78 set of the B4 by Walter and the BBC, and transferred it as carefully as I could, but the Koch CD just blew it away! This is a Mark Obert-Thorn transfer, is it not? If so, this would be a pretty early commercial job of his, right after one or two Toscanini items he did for Music & Arts. In those days Mark was using comparatively rudimentary gear (before his $10,000 purchase of a CEDAR noise reduction system) and was doing the transfers AAD, copying to analogue tape for the momentary "overlap" of continuous sides; but the results were always VERY natural and musical!

Thank you for sharing this. It will be interesting to compare these with Walter's postwar recordings. Best, Louis
Thanks again!
