<B>Conductor Bruno Walter Autograph Letter Signed,</B></I> 7.25 x 10.5, n.d., New York, on Hotel Dorset stationary. Bruno Walter (1876-1962) was a German-born conductor and composer. He was born in Berlin, but moved to several countries between 1933 and 1939, finally settling in the United States in 1939. Working as a chorus director at the Hamburg Opera, he first met and worked with Gustav Mahler, whom he idolized and with whose music he would later be strongly identified. During his years in the United States, Walter worked with many famous American orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the NBC Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra (where he was musical adviser from 1947 to 1949), and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
