While listening to some of Bruno Walter's late recordings with the Columbia, I realized there is a shocking lack of information detailing who the players in the orchestra were, or even where the recording was made. Does anybody know if Walter/Columbia's famous Beethoven 6 recording was made on the East or West Coast, and if so who the principal player on the recording is?

From what I remember there was really no such thing as the Columbia Symphony. Whoever played the recording session was arbitrarily called the Columbia Symphony. Sometimes it was a pickup orchestra, sometimes an established orchestra hired for the job. I believe that some recording was done by the Toronto Symphony and that the Cleveland Orchestra did some of the complete set of Stravinsky.
