This recording is reviewed in the following publication:-
Gramophone Record Review - January 1957 p.209
American Record Guide - December 1957 Vol.24 No.4 p.170 [PLM]
Comments:- *The year in which this recording was made is given as 1959 in an excelent article on the zarzuela on the internet (click link below), but this cannot be correct as it was reviewed in the two magazines listed above in 1957 and is included in the discography which accompanies a printed interview with the conductor Indalacio Cisneros, director of the Orquesta de Radio Madrid, which appeared in the Spanish Magazine DISCOFILIA julio-agosto 1956 pp.181-182. There is also a review of the recording on p.212 of the same issue. According to this discography Cisneros had by that time already conducted the recordings of 5 zarzuelas for Columbia/Alhambra El año pasado por agua (MC 25020), La Calesera (MCC 30033), Las Leandras (MC 25022), La Monteria (MCC 30035), El ultimo romantico (MCC 30034). Therefore Ataúlfo Argenta was not the only conductor of the zarzuela recordings issued by Columbia/Alhambra prior to his death.
