Bruno Walter was Mahler's assistant conductor and foremost protégé. Upon leaving the Vienna Opera, Mahler wrote to him; "I know of no one who understands me as well as I feel you do and I believe I have entered deep into the mine of your soul." Indeed, Mahler relied upon Walter to explain the Fourth to critics. In his biography of Mahler, Walter described the Fourth as dreamlike and unreal, a fairy tale of airy imponderability and blissful exaltation. His 1945 New York Philharmonic recording of the Fourth is a world apart from Mengelberg's interpretation - deeply humanistic, with an utterly natural flow, shorn of even a hint of exaggeration and, at 50 minutes, the swiftest on record, yet with no sense of being rushed. Bruno Walter conducting As an added touch of authenticity, his soloist is Desi Halban, daughter of Selma Kurtz, who had studied and performed extensively with the composer.
