Recording premieres
He made many recordings of the works of Mahler and Anton Bruckner. He made the first commercial recordings of Mahler's Third and Sixth symphonies. His recordings of Bruckner symphonies are unusual in that they use the first published editions rather than the later critical editions. (Hans Knappertsbusch was the only other major conductor to stick with the first editions consistently.) His recording of Bruckner's Sixth Symphony was, until 2008, the only recording ever made of the 1899 first published edition. His recording of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony is one of only two to use the first edition prepared by Ferdinand Löwe in 1903 following Bruckner's death. Adler also promoted much modern music, both in the SPA Music Festival he led in Saratoga Springs, New York and for various record labels (including SPA, Unicorn, and CRI). Adler's recordings were made in Vienna, mostly with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under a variety of pseudonyms for contractual reasons (e.g, Vienna Philharmonia Orchestra, Vienna Orchestra, Vienna Konzertverein).
