It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: The Mayorga recording?

I don't think I've heard the Mayorga recording. I have heard (and still own) the Ivan Davis / Maurice Peress recording of Rhapsody in Blue, which I believe also uses the original jazz band arrangement, and, as Seth notes below, sometimes the banjos (or maybe it's a single banjo) are/is very prominent.

Re the BIS sound - I haven't heard the Danças Brasileiras recording unfortunately. Most of the BIS recordings I have include their great Sibelius performances, as well as a lot of their Grieg SACD's - I also have their Sao Paolo Respighi trilogy. My feeling is that they're almost always above average and sometimes spectacularly good, but we may have just been listening to different repertoire - they have a pretty huge catalog.
