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. 

[Dundonnell]

Oh dear

Spelling duly corrected

[Alan Howe]

Spelling duly corrected

Don't forget to amend the spellings in the subject field as well (now duly done)!

Dutch spellings... Not that I would know, but...
since Matthijs was born Matheas Christianus Franciscus van der Meulen ... ?!

[Christo]

since Matthijs was born Matheas Christianus Franciscus van der Meulen ... ?!

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. 

The young Van der Meulen himself adopted his artist name "Matthijs Vermeulen" in 1910, when h was a music student.
