I have this one, the recording is dated as 1909 https://www.amazon.com/Arte-Flamenco-Vol-Anta%C3%B1o-1844-%C2%961918/dp/B00000AY4J/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1473766815&sr=1-3&keywords=Juan+Breva The oldest recordings are not necessarily the "source" - each generation has taken their cultural inheritance and interpreted it in their own ways, and adding their own creations.... some styles mentioned in earlier writings had already disappeared by the time audio recording began (eg. playeras), other styles were firmly established before recordings began and are well documented in recordings (eg. Siguiriyas, Soleares), others have been developed since the advent of recording technology and are poorly represented in the earliest recordings (eg. Bulerías). Tangos is supposed to have existed before Tientos evolved, but on the earliest recordings I have Tientos is represented, but not Tangos. Later on Tangos seems to have revived, and modern recordings are full of Tangos.... but not so much Tientos....
