And here is yet another one, music composed for the Malaga Cathedral by Juan de Iribarren. Very animated cantatas sung by soprano Marta Almajano and tenor Lluis Vilamajó, and this time the guest conductor is superb oboe player Alfredo Bernardini!!!!

Tchaikovsky: Symphonies 1-4, Mengelberg....
These recordings range from 1928-1941 but are surprisingly good especially given the age of the earlier ones. However, this set is not about vintage recordings but rather vintage performances which are wonderfully insightful.

Mengelberg is probably the conductor who give us the performances that must resemble the most those of the late XIX Century. Have you heard his Mahler Fergus/Seán? Fascinating!

The always colorful and interesting Henry Cowell was a proponent of "world" music (along with Lou Harrison) before it became popular. Sadly long OOP Louisville Orchestra recording:
Symphony # 11 "Seven Rituals of Music"
Robert Whitney conducting
great stuff

I felt as though I was listening in on the past Pepe which, in fact, I was. My thoughts when listening to the Tchaikovsky were how much approaches and interpretations seem to have changed so much over the years; and one wondered how close to the original intentions of the composer these performances were given the relatively close time proximity [compared to now of course] of the Mengelberg recordings. Do we inevitably move further away from a composer's wishes as time moves on?
I only have Mahler 4 performed by Mengelberg Pepe and I have always found it a very different interpretation yet always liked it. I do not know if he has recorded any other Mahler other than M4. Perhaps Seán can enlighten me as I know that he bought a Mengelberg box set some time ago.
