Kurtz/NYPSO recording date for Villa-Lobos: Uirapiru Recorded October 4, 1949. Issued on Columbia ML 4255 in January, 1950. No other releases cited. This comes from an NYPSO discography, apparenty in-house, that was sent to a late friend by someone at the Philharmonic around 1967. James H. North did a Philharmonic discography (of the commercially-released recordings only) published last year by The Scarecrow Press. I can't now find it.

It had to be recorded in 4 parts (as if for 78 issue) because of audible "side breaks" and one helluva pitch drop at the 12 minute mark. (Only other recording I know of was on Everest..Goossens?)
My date for the recording is Oct 4, 1949, from my old Philharmonic research.
If it's a broadcast, it's Stokowski.

Does anyone have the recording date for Efrem Kurtz & the New York Philharmonic's UIRAPURU (Villa-Lobos), Columbia ML 4255? No 78 issue, but that doesn't mean they might not have had it in the can from 1947 or 1949.
And how on earth did Columbia let it out with that burst of static from 1:22 to 1:30? (Duh..it's modern music..nobody'll notice..)
