    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

            Whilst Karajan doesn't seem happy with the latest take and Walter looks like some second hand car salesman:

              And if you want another puzzle: what piece are they recording here? Obviously it's Kertesz which is one clue.

                      Lest you drift off the scent - there are some woodwind [no brass] that are not in the shot.

                        Oh! So not the Dvorak Serenade for Strings, then?! (I was never on the scent, it seems! I don't recognize the leader, either, btw.)

                          Ah! OK. the person sat in what would be the leader's seat is Steven Shingles principal viola of the LSO. That should do it! Kingsway December 1967.

                            The piece that came to mind immediately was Brahms's 2nd Serenade. Then I saw your comment on no. 90 that there are no brass.

                              Oh, you've got it, of course, Pabs! ("No heavy brass", I think Gordon meant.)
