The Eulenspiegel is an acoustic recording, I have that.
If you have the "Uranus", would be great if you could upload it.
And if you could check the Siegfried, would be great, too!

That's pretty much in the category of a "new music" recording, isn't it?

The acoustic 1923 'Death and Transfiguration' has been on YouTube for four years now but unsurprisingly has had only 193 "views" ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTqJdj57XVo

Coates's 1928 electric remake has done rather better with just over 900 "views" in the last six years ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GheuSHaCmfw

So far, his Handel Overture hasn't been uploaded there yet but that could quite possibly change at some point.

Didn't Coates also record excerpts from PARSIFAL and MEISTERSINGER with the singers singing in English?
