Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

But they're pretty parts for the or anglais that stick in my mind (and I didn't want to mention the dreaded Swan of you know where)
The third I was thinking about was Chabrier's Lamento for Cor anglais & orchestra.Last edited by Flay; 24-02-16, 16:46. Reason: Gcorrections but not dared to correct the "or anglais!Pacta sunt servanda !!!

I cringe when I recall In youth orchestra days playing the cor anglais part in the Berlioz Roman Carnival. It was going swimmingly well (or so I distractedly thought) - until I played an f# instead of natural: a resounding key-changing accident(al) that drew a simultaneous sharp intake of breath from all anglesPacta sunt servanda !!!

I agree with you about the cornet in the Bal - and it seems to be a small minority of performance that include it - one reason why Martinon is top of my list of recordings and Dohnanyi up there too.

Interesting cloughie, don't know either of those, and shall seek them out - as you say, one assumes most performances mystifyingly don't have the cornet - and so it's good to know two more which do.
Colin Davis always seemed to include it - it's not one of my favourite pieces, so I have never gone further than his Amsterdam recording; but as that's not on Youtube, here is the LSO version. The cornet is especially felicitous from 4:00 onwards...
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
... although it comes over better in the airy and perfect acoustic of the Concertgebouw recording
