As for "except for Bruno Walter" there wasn't much interest in Mahler before World War II, Willem Mengelberg programmed and conducted Mahler almost incessantly before the Nazis forbade him to do so, including with the New York Philharmonic between 1922/3 and 1930 and his 1920 Mahler Festival in Amsterdam; Frederick Stock conducted Mahler symphonies with the Chicago Symphony as early as the 1906/7 season (Symphony no. 5) and 1930/1 and 1931/2 (Symphony no. 7); and so on.

Recordings began with an acoustic "Resurrection" on Polydor. Japanese Columbia had a recording of the Fourth in 1929. Ormandy recorded the "Resurrection" for Victor in Minneapolis in 1935. Walter did both DAS LIED and the Ninth Symphony in Vienna in the latter thirties.The Mahler First with Mitropoulos was also done in Minneapolis. DDR
