With the stipulation that you can't trust everything you see, here is the same symphonic movement we heard last night, with another movement added -- from an even older performance. Unlike last night's conductor, who will not be represented in tomorrow's post, tonight's conductor will be.

UPDATE

The mono performance of the Scherzo and then first movement of the Bruckner Fourth Symphony is by Bruno Walter and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, broadcast Feb. 10, 1940. The stereo performance of the Scherzo is from Bruno Walter's stereo remake with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, made Feb. 13-25, 1960. We hear the stereo first movement in Sunday's post.
