the only thing that popped up from that era regarding broadcasts is the in-studio Gauk Schumann concerto from 1948, released tru.

And of course dat in studio Prok 8 and Franck PCF from 1946

Did the russians not make acetates ?

Looks like no, a bit WTF.

Maybe Chris knows more about this…
But Russian off-radio recs started appearing only post war, using da captured state of the art NAZI equipment 8)

Respect for his appetite for speed. One day they will find more Richter recordings in the archives, they just ain’t fast enough to catch up to them yet. Eternal speed. Respect.
