Just for the record, there are a few other Mahler recordings from pre-WWII:

1936 Das Lied von der Erde - Walter, VPO, live
1936 Rückert Lieder - Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen - Walter, VPO, live
1939 Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen - Mengelberg, COA, live

Also, Mahler's Symphony No. 9 with Walter and the VPO was recorded by HMV both on January 15 (unissued) and 16, 1938.

Hindemaro Konoye was the conductor of the Fourth. Oskar Fried, conductor of
the acoustic Polydor "Resurrection", was a celebrated Mahler conductor of
his time, so that set possesses far more than monetary interest despite the
primitive recording.
