I'm afraid it doesn't exist.  There are Mahler 4ths conducted by Walter
with Desi Halban, Imgard Seefried, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Hilde Gueden and
Maria Stader, but NOT Nan Merriman.  There are Das Lied Von Der Erdes with
Nan Merriman, but they are conducted by Van Beinum, Jochum and
Schmidt-Isserstedt.
