Spanning the years 1944 to 1961, the collection includes his final broadcast for Reichssender Hamburg with Hans Rosbaud in June 1944, recorded in the final months of the Third Reich, shortly before his relocation to Florence in August of that year. Also featured are two Luxembourg radio recordings conducted by Louis de Froment, alongside a series of German broadcasts, including a collaboration with Karl Böhm in Frankfurt and a selection of works for cello and piano.
