To those reared on his recordings, Bruno Walter was a living link to a bygone age. Born in 1876, when Wagner was still alive and Bruckner had yet to write his last and greatest symphonies, Walter was arguably the most old-world of the many long-lived conductors who were born in the latter part of the 19th century (Horenstein, Klemperer, and Scherchen are other notable ones). Indeed, few maestros of any era were so big-hearted and warmly expressive, yet without undo sentimentality.
