Is the Anders/Weissenborn Winterreise recording really as unobtainable
as my short internet search seems to indicate? Strange, for a recording
that's surely out of copyright by now.
I only know the version with Raucheisen. Does anybody know both? Are
they very different?
Also, is there more than one recording with Raucheisen? I thought it
dated from 1945, but here there's mention of a 1952 radio recording.
Does anybody know all the Anders Winterreise recordings and have an
opinion about their comparative merits?

Thank you. I've sampled one song, Auf dem Flusse and that really is
quite a bit different from the 1945 Raucheisen recording. (A lot faster,
for one thing.)
I see the 1952 Raucheisen is on Spotify, so I can compare that as well.
The Weissenborng is also on YouTube in separate tracks, I noticed. In
case people want to sample particular songs.

I've never heard (nor heard of) a 1952 radio broadcast. I have both the 1945 and 1948 recordings, and there's really not a lot to choose between them. I wouldn't pay a fortune for the 1948; I'm sure that it will turn up cheap at some point. At the moment, the 1945 is probably easier to find, since there are multiple relatively recent issues.

Anders's voice is more interesting in the first recording - more metalic in the high notes, which makes a lovely contrast with is deep low notes. Neither Weissenborn nor Raucheisen are anything more than adequate and for that reason neither is recommendable in my opinion.

Yes, sorry, I failed to provide the link. Presto says it's from 1952:
http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Acanta/233690
"This re-mastered release of a 1952 radio recording of Schubert’s
song-cycle ."
But that's probably a typo on their website. That cd is featured on
Spotify, and it doesn't differ from the 1945 recording on DG.
The picture on the cd cover on that web page, and the text "in the
shadows of the war", should have tipped me of that it was a typo.
