There's still another recording of the Second Symphony available - my favourite version and first recommendation for this work: Lucas Vis conducting the Hague PO ('Residentie' Orchestra) on a Donemus cd, Composer's Voice CV-KN1.
BTW: 'Matthijs' ;) - I admire your struggle with al these Dutch spellings. ;D
Oh dear ::)
Spelling duly corrected ;D

Don't forget to amend the spellings in the subject field as well (now duly done)!
Dutch spellings... Not that I would know, but...

Actually, he wasn't born with this name - the form of which clearly refers to the Catholic use of baptism and offering the newborn a name for the occasion. 8)
The young Van der Meulen himself adopted his artist name "Matthijs Vermeulen" in 1910, when h was a music student.
