I may be wrong about this but I think that some works got recorded twice
with the Concertgebouw but not all of them. For instance, I pretty sure
that there are 3 different recordings of the Fourth, one of which is with
the BPO.

I have heard some of his BPO cycle. FWIW I find his BPO Fourth to be one
of my favorites. I have also heard good things about the 1st from this
cycle. Sadly, Phillips nixed the cycle before versions of the Eighth and
Ninth could be released.
