As far as I know, Anne-Sophie Mutter recorded Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen"
twice.  The first one with Osawa conducting the Orchestre National de
France (EMI, probably NLA).  The second one with Levine conducting the VPO
(DG).  By the way, which is the best recording of "Zigeunerweisen" (a
wonderful masterpiece, IMHO) available?
