    YES! Yes and yes... and ... your searches will be aided by using the French 'ménéstral'

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      And yes sir, but do explain!

      Up to you and mercia about the D... You're both there

        no definitely your call, cloughie, I was nowhere near that Glazunov - your French is obviously much better than mine

        I shall now acquaint myself with the Chant du Menestrel (or Menestral) opus 71

              Worth it. It's nice. Great coupling with DSCH's wonderful funky 2nd Cello Conc. on this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shostakovich.../dp/B00000E4QE (I'd buy 'used' - look at those 'new' prices )

              I had it on cassette very early in my 'music career'... I see they've shoved some Tchaikovsky with it on the CD release

                well I have a very tedious D, I'm sure cloughie's is more interesting


                a D obscurely connecting

                - 4 taxi horns used orchestrally
                - Liszt's second symphonic poem
                - Kodachrome

                        Yes odd isn't it. The original LP and cassette release which I had was just a pic of Seiji and Mstislav doing their thing: http://www.amazon.com/Shostakovich-G.../dp/B0036WB6DO

                            probably better marketing other people's products than my own
                            or perhaps that's what you meant
