Bruno Walter In Conversation With Arnold Michaelis - In Conversation With Arnold Michaelis

At the time Columbia had been celebrating Dr. Walter for a few years with numerous recordings and disks and this release is one of several audio documents they made with the Doctor's spoken word. Recorded in 1956 in anticipation of his 80th birthday as reflected in the choice of catalog number for the original release on vinyl: "BW 80". The full range recording is cut to disk with EQ boosted at the outer ranges most likely in anticipation of low grade consumer playback speakers such that an +8dB wide-bell at 2kHz will normalize playback.
