I have meant for some time to add that I also have a version of the earlier work (Yepes/National Orchestra of Spain/Ataulfo Argenta) on London ffrr, on the album "Music of Spain", CS 6046.

This is a nice contrast, to hear the more-youthful Yepes, with all his sincere expression and artistry so apparent, with Argenta's well-turned direction; so polished.

I like both versions a lot; but today I would settle on the later, perhaps more "mature", rendering.  The later perspective is somewhat more distant, and the emotions and artistry are correspondingly subtler.  In fact, some listeners might just miss that part.
