El Salon Mexico -- old edgy version


I was listening to Bernstein's version of his strong aquaintence, Copland. It made me remember a version, much older that I heard while driving on a snowy night, so I daren't write down the details, nor remember as I spun round curves. But listening now to Lenny, he had an affection, but his creditable execution still has more Lenny mannerism than that other biting, crazy version of a real place. The pacing, the leaner raw folk was truly great. Can anyone help?

My favorite has always been Antal Dorati's version. It is available on London--cd#430705-2. It has punch and verve that Bernstein's can't come close to. LP version is harder to find. I have many versions but the Dorati has been my favorite/
