*The gap in matrix numbers here (XCO 29311 through XCO 29314) belongs to recordings of Richard Strauss' Waltzes from "Der Rosenkavalier" and Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave, made on December 14, 1940, by the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Artur Rodzinski.  Mitropoulos' further recordings for the same day as the Schumann symphony, December 3, 1940, are of Mozart's Entr'actes from "Thamos" (XCO 29336/7 - a recording I have uploaded elsewhere) and Grieg's Two Elegiac Melodies (XCO 29338/9).
