This is desert island material for me, and I just learned about this recording a few weeks ago when Ross was commenting on the Sarasate Zigeunerweisen that was posted here. This Lalo piece was an early favorite of mine. I was looking for a recording to show him and I eventually found this one. This piece is usually paired with the Zigeunerweisen on records, and the composer Lalo wrote the Symphonie Espagnole for that Spanish violinist Pablo Sarasate.

This is a classic recording that for some reason never made it to CD. Probably because the same label has a famous Heifetz recording from around the same time in their archives. Luckily someone did a very good rip from an old LP and posted it on Youtube. This version blows Heifetz, Perlman, Mutter and all of the rest right out of the water.
