See below for excerpts from Alan Kelly's transcript of the relevant ledger (dates are in dd-mm-yy form, place of recording is Berlin):

        MILITÄR ORCHESTER (OSKAR HACKENBERGER)
BLR     3848            Der Trompeter von Säkkingen: Behüt’ dich Gott (Nessler)
        -1      8-2-28          8-40499 EG1317
        -2

        HARMONIE ORCHESTER (FRANZ VON BLON)
BLR 5228                Bayrisch Blau (Friedemann)
         -1     25-3-29         8-40498 EG1317

Professor Oskar Hackenberger was "Heeresmusikinspizient" ("Music Inspector of the Army") of the Weimar Republic. He edited *the* standard collection of German military marches, still used by today's "Bundeswehr". The piece played here is obviously not a march, but a concert-band arrangement of a popular German opera tune.

Franz von Blon was a composer of marches and salon music in the 1910s and 1920s, this is the first time I notice him as a conductor on records, but apparently he conducted both the Berlin and Warsaw Philharmonic "in real life, if we can believe the German Wiki page dealing with him: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_von_Blon

Hope this helps!
