That should leave François Planté, the French pianist, born in 1839 about third or fourth oldest.  He recorded for Columbia in 1930 at age 90!  

Then the other question is, who was the oldest living musician to record?  Mieczyslav (?) Horszowski was recording and concertizing at age 95!  Toscanini? Stokowski? Casals?
