THE BIOGRAPHY - BRUNO WALTER (1876-1962)
Born in Berlin in 1876, Bruno Walter entered the Stern Conservatory at the age of eight, intending to become a concert pianist, and made his conducting debut in Cologne at 17. Following appointments in Pressburg (now Bratislava), Riga and Berlin, he went to Vienna as assistant to Mahler, whose works he later championed, giving the premieres of Das Lied von der Erde and the Ninth Symphony after the composer's death. Important positions in Munich and Berlin - as well as guest appearances in Salzburg, London, Amsterdam, Paris, New York, Moscow and elsewhere - brought him worldwide fame by the 1920s. After the Nazis drove him from Germany in 1933 and Austria in 1938, he settled in the United States, where he worked with several leading musical organisations, most notably the New York Philharmonic. He was, and through his many recordings still is, widely admired for his skilful use of rubato, sensitivity to structure and textural details, dramatic intensity and, perhaps most of all, the genial lyricism of his performances.
THE RECORDINGS
This compilation, made by Erik Ryding (who has just completed a major biography of Bruno Walter) shows the conductor at his best, before and immediately after World War II and before ill health forced him to slow down. So, the majority of these recordings come from 1930-1938, from 1949 and, finally, with Brahms's Second Symphony with the New York Philharmonic, from 1953. The recording of Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony, with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1936, is a seminal performance and represents the VPO at the height of its powers before the war. The New York performance of the Brahms represents Walter's best work in the United States. The Mozart and Wagner (both from the early 1930s) and the Haydn and Johann Strauss (both from 1938) are quite rare and have all been carefully remastered for this reissue. The extract from Act 2 of Die Walküre comes from arguably one of the very greatest recorded performances of Wagner on record and the treasurable VPO recordings with Kathleen Ferrier, of Mahler's Kindertotenlieder and Das Lied von der Erde, were amongst the conductor's own favourites.

THE BIOGRAPHY - CARL SCHURICHT (1880-1967)
Carl Schuricht was born in 1880 in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland). Already conducting by the age of 15, he studied piano and composition in Berlin with Rudorff and Humperdinck and composition in Leipzig with Reger. In 1901 he was appointed répétiteur at Mainz, in 1907 operetta conductor at Zwickau, and in 1909 he succeeded Siegfried Ochs as conductor of the Rühl Choral Union, Frankfurt. Schuricht became music director at Wiesbaden in 1912 and continued to hold that post until 1944. He made his British debut in London in 1914, his USA debut in St Louis in 1927, his Vienna Philharmonic debut in 1934, and from 1930 to 1939 conducted the Scheveningen summer concerts in Holland. Between 1937 and 1944 he was principal guest conductor of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and in 1943 was appointed principal guest conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra. However, in the autumn of 1944 he left Germany and settled in Switzerland. Henceforward he worked exclusively as a guest conductor across the Continent, and in 1956 shared the Vienna Philharmonic's American tour with André Cluytens. He made his first post-war British appearance in 1963 with the London Symphony Orchestra and in 1965 made his last appearance at the Salzburg Festival. Schuricht died in Switzerland in 1967.
THE RECORDINGS
This compilation represents Schuricht's best work in the recording studio. Mendelssohn's 'Hebrides' Overture (in mono from 1954), Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony and Mozart's 'Haffner' Symphony (both in stereo from 1956) have never appeared on CD, except in Japan. Though the recordings of Beethoven's First Symphony (from 1958) and Bruckner's Symphony No.8 (a renowned performance from 1963) are well-known, both have been improved for this reissue by careful remastering.
