I'm perplexed. Is anyone out there a Bruno Walter expert:
Regarding the Walter - COA - 6/6/52 (Don Juan, Mozart 40, and Mahler
4): there seems to be an error somewhere, either on Music & Arts's
part or in the Concertgebouw Anthology Vol. 2 CD set -- see
http://classicalcdreview.com/rcoa2.html -- (i.e., in the dates one
of these two companies gives).. I compared my 2-CD set on M & A (CD-
1090) of the (supposedly June 19) performances of these 3 works and
they're exactly the same performances as the ones marked 6/6/52 in
the COA Anthology, all the way down to each and every noise from the
orchestra and/or the audience, and EVERY audience COUGH!! I checked
very, very meticulously; I didn't go just by the timings.. I want to
find out whether Walter indeed actually performed these 3 works on
both of those nights or whether one of those dates is an error ---
which I'm starting to suspect, because let's say he did perform them
on the 6th and also the 19th -- why would one CD outlet just happen
to get the wrong date? -- it doesn't seem likely.
Maybe the correct date is June 6, considering what I read in the
following Walter discography:

This is all very strange because I just noticed on the internet that
at least two or three CD outlets besides M&A are giving that June 19
date rather than June 6. But I would think that the Anthology from
the Concertgebouw itself would have the most reliable data.
