Right, Micky. A few pieces of an all-Wagner concert with Toscanini and the NYP-SO from 1932 survive on pre-grooved Victrolac discs recorded off the air. Not surprisingly, the sound is pretty rough.

For someone who died in 1933, the likelihood of any audio recordings is
doubtful. Instantaneos recordings at that time only survive as aluminum
discs. She missed the introduction of lacquer surfaced discs by one year,
and wire recording did not come into use in the U.S. before WW2.
