The archivist at Radion NZ kindly sent the following info on their Tintner recordings. There aren't many to be honest. The Lilburn and Wagner look interesting though. I did not realise that Mr Tintner was the first conductor of the fine Auckland Philharmonia. I suspect that some private collector has off air recordings stashed somewhere. The person who kindly gave me info said it was not a complete list and he will make further enquiries with Radio NZ.
