Before his tragic and early death at the age of 44 in 1958 Ataelfo Argenta was the foremost Spanish conductor of his generation and on the verge of a major international career. Argenta was not associated with Beethoven yet this live (excellently remastered) ICA recording of the 'Eroica' with the Orquestra Nacional shows him as an exciting interpreter.
