I think there were two discs in the series. La Maja Dolorosa is not in the playlist of the one I have. Certainly wouldn't mind having the one that does. Very nice listening.

Mahler: Symphony No.5
Gustav Mahler (Composer), Bruno Walter (Conductor), New York Philharmonic (Orchestra) | Format: vinyl

A busy night cleaning and manually vacumning vinyl with playoffs muted in background.

This is a nice rendition of the 5th, actually on the Columbia label, and an orange one at that. Can't find a date anywhere on box, label or engraved in the vinyl.

Two of my all time favorite recordings are Bruno Walter's recordings on Columbia of Bruckner's 9th symphony (Columbia Symphony Orchestra) and Mahler's 2nd symphony with the New York Philharmonic. Both are of the same era as his sym, no. 5. Classic performances in pretty good sound for the 1950s. I listen to them on CD now, having worn out a couple of copies of each of them on Lp.

Can you imagine in this day and age a recording company organizing its own professional orchestra like the Columbia Symphony Orchestra? If I remember correctly, it was usually composed of free lance musicians in the Los Angeles area, members of movie studio orchestras, and perhaps some form the LA Symphony. They were very good.

Oldies but goodies. These 2 South American Indian bros. were the rage in Asia (at least) in the 60s. Somebody discovered them in the Amazon jungle? Their guitar sound was unique. That's why their recordings are still around, and sought after (again, over there!). I picked this up locally though. It's an RCA European release. In Chinatown NYC, I recently saw a remaster CD, dubbed audiophile, single album of one of their early releases, $30. "Wow!", I thought.
