I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but I have one to add to it:
Didn't he have a grandson, Marc, who also became a conductor?

That great Orfeo disc is not the only Bruckner recording he made. See Lani
Spahr's discography (oh where oh where is that link?)--there's at least a
Symphony No. 1 and No. 3 that appeared on LP.

My memory may be defective, but I have faint recollections of a Franz
Schmidt symphony #4, issued on Epic in the '50s, with a Viennese
orchestra. (But I could have him confused with Rudolf Moralt or some
other lesser-known Austrian conductor.)

He recorded the Linz and Vienna versions of No. 1, as well as symphonies
Nos. 2, 3, 4 (twice) and 6 (they are all listed in Lani's
wonderful discography). He was a devoted Bruckner conductor and one
who has remained obscure due to inexplicable reasons. Let's hope the
record companies decide to reissue more of his art.

That Schmidt recording was in fact conducted by Moralt. The only Andreae
recording on Epic was his fine Bruckner Third, licensed from Philips. Andreae
recorded Bruckner's First Symphony (1893 edition) for the Masterseal label
around 1951. The Bruckner First (this time the "Linz" version) and Second with
the Vienna Symphony later appeared on Amadeo, and there was a Decca/London disc
of the Schumann Concerto and Weber Konzertstuck with Friedrich Gulda (Andreae
conducting the Vienna Philharmonic).
Andreae was a flexible, old-fashioned conductor, who combined warmth and
urgency, not unlike the conducting of Kubelik in the 1960s.

The Bruckner Fourth and Sixth with the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra are existing,
but so far unissued, radio recordings. They have never been commercially
available. Music & Arts is considering their release.

He also recorded Othmar Schoeck's violin concerto with Stefi Geyer in
the 1940s, which can be found on Lys and Jecklin.
