Hof-Opernorrchesters [Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra] in Brahms Third Symphony, Dvorak Die Waldtaube (the Viennese First perf.) and Beethoven Consecration of the House Overture. Broadside with mounting strip along the left edge, else fine; program booklet lacking the outer wrappers, else fine. Original programs from Mahler's illustrious Viennese tenure are quite scarce.
