	Arbiter 138: Bruno Walter and Bronislaw Huberman
		Bruno Walter's first American concert tours came about during his mature years, after age fifty, when a long engagement as Generalmusikdirektor in Munich made him one of the most celebrated musicians in the world.
		Walter's appearances were appreciated by the public in the concert hall (and presumably by the immense radio audience) as well as among the critics: Olin Downes, a fervent partisan for Toscanini, never failed to offer his own appreciation, especially for the Mozart which this illustrious guest was celebrated for.
		After 1945, Walter was often called on to judge the political behavior of many co-nationals ringing at the doorstep of America's rich musical life, especially after 1950, when Rudolf Bing, appointed General Manager of the Metropolitan, first consulted with him before signing up artists who had compromised themselves with Nazi-Fascism.

	Beethoven Missa Solemnis / Bruno Walter/NYP
		Bruno Walter called the Missa Solemnis Beethoven’s “masterwork among masterworks [that] spoke to me at once as with a prophet’s voice.” That was at age 15, yet he didn’t conduct it until his Munich tenure (1913-22) following the Vienna years with Mahler –; sometime, that is, between ages 37 and 44.
		A heart attack curtailed Walter’s activities as guest conductor in the ‘50s, although Chicago was a regular pit-stop, in appreciation for which he was invited in 1957 to inaugurate the new Symphony Chorus that the incumbent Fritz Reiner had lobbied for, and persuaded Margaret Hillis to become its director.
