The long-awaited unpublished recording of Hermann Abendroth conducting Mahler's Fourth Symphony is now available! The release can be found at:

Also just released, another unpublished document from the Salzburg Festival 1955: Rafael Kubelik conducts the Vienna Philharmonic.

A huge thanks to all those folks who have bought our releases. We hope you will enjoy them all.

One wonders if this is genuine or just another mis-attributed recording like
so many others. If authentic, this would be Abendroth's only performance
of a work by Mahler. It seems unlikely for a conductor to perform only one
work of a conductor he clearly was not much interested in promoting.

In addition, Abendroth was notoriously antisemitic and a Nazi party
member. This smells rather fishy to me.

Actually you're wrong: Abendroth conducted at least the First and Fourth symphonies, as well as the song cycles, both before and after the war on many occasions. They were a fixed part of his repertoire. And we do not waste our time on 'supposed' recordings: every one of our releases is 100% genuine.

I did a 15 minute search and didn't find anything to
indicate Abendroth was "notoriously" antisemitic. When the
Nazis first took over he was fired from one position because
he was considered to liberal. Later he joined the Nazi
Party and occupied important music positions thoughout the
war. What evidence is there that he was anything worse than
an opportunist or a coward? As I said in another post,
there are degrees of evil.
