Hello to all, 1st time I have posted here. 

I came across a mint sealed copy of Mahler#4 on the Italian J Grandi Concerti series of LP's (no.67 to be exact).

The conductor is Klemperer but there is no mention of who the singer is.

I already own the EMI Klemperer/Schwarzkopf recording and am not a big fan of Schwarzkopf singing the 4th.

I may go back to the shop and ask them to open it if no one here can help me out.

Cheers from Vancouver!

The lps I've come across on that label have all been old (~1950s) live recordings, so it is more likely to be one of the several live Klemperer performances that exist and which don't feature Schwarzkopf.

The singer is Elfriede Trötschel in this Köln RSO recording from Feb 1954. (See www.ann.hi-ho.ne.jp/aria/Klemperer-Disco_E.htm.)
