Disc 5, PCs 8, 23, & 5. Not as individual as his EMI recordings, but wonderful all the same in a different sort of way.

Prokofiev 4th Sym. Ormandy and Philadelphia on a Columbia 6 eye. Under rated work on a good recording.

Flamenco is hard to categorize, but it definitely is sorta classical.
This is a very nicely recorded box set from Connisseur Society. 3 disc of early Manitas de Platas.
There are some nice copies available on ebay for less than the cost of a hamburger.

Nearly every classical music listener has a version of Mozart's Sym. 41 "Jupiter" and 35 "Haffner". I really don't even know how many I have at this point. But when I ran across Bruno Walter's version on Columbia MS6255 on a demo 6 eye NM copy for two bucks, I couldn't pass it up.
Just cleaned it and gave a listen... this 41 is the slowest, most deliberate tempo I've ever heard. Walter gives a voice to little riffs that let instruments surface that are usually hidden in the rush. And bass- wow, he like his bass with impact. Actually he really likes dynamic punch throughout. This rendition earns it's name Jupiter- godlike in scope and weight. Some won't like it and call it ponderous, but no one will dismiss it as simply another rendition in the long line of directors and symphonies that have recorded this work horse.
As far as the Haffner, for me it didn't have the same impact... just another version.
Look for it. It's a very dynamic recording.

I have a couple of his, Scott, also on the CS label. The man is fierce! He'd be considered a bluesman over here. I was at a Spanish café in North Beach (San Francisco) last year and the guitarist played one of de Plata's tunes. I gave him a shout so he played another
