Mali, check your collection....I am pretty sure he never recorded the 2nd with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra - I have both the original Columbia release and an Odyssey release and both are with the NYPO.

Like I said the two performances are identical. :) I was surprised when that CD set arrived, with it labeled as the Columbia Symphony Orchestra with Bruno Walter. Without checking carefully I came to the conclusion that he must have rerecorded it in the midst of those late career LA recordings with the pick up band Columbia organized for him. (They did my favorite 9th anyway.) Looks like the producers of that reissue thought the same thing. I listened to it once and thought it had inferior sonics to the two other CD versions. I had it on Lp in mono, then stereo, and finally in several CD versions. Would have loved to seen it as a SACD, but Sony threw in the towel on SACDs before that could happen, if it ever would have.

BTW, I've got a recent Japanese CD of Bruno's 1958 M2 (Sony SICC 20075-76), and the sonics are FAR superior to the domestic releases (I've heard at least 3). The Japanese edition sounds much more open and transparent (there's even audible hiss--very obviously filtered out on the domestic CDs) with a greater frequency extension at both ends. Very much worth seeking out!

Thanks. I tried to find it via CD Japan, but they were sold out.
