Good morning, all you fathers!

Think you've missed them HS - they'll be out on business leading the singing, hearing confessions etc...

Yup! they are all violas [or celli and bass]. If you listen to it and compare with the sound of the first serenade you'll hear the lack of high strings [in the left channel]. Op16 is wind heavy anyway so the strings are somewhat muted. Headphone will help.

Thanks for the lovely pic of the score.
I know the orchestration of opus 16 (and a friend of mine used it as orcehstra for a bass clarinet concerto), but didn't realise the picture was without any violins

I got the picture from the LSO about 12 years ago during research on Kingsway Hall [some of it found its way to the Wiki pages] and they told me what was being recorded. I didn't know the piece then so the lack of violins went unnoticed. It was some time later that I looked closely and recognised Steven Shingles. Looking the piece up and getting the Kertesz recordings I realised what was going on!

EDIT: The reason I knew what Steven looked like was this captioned picture of him with the Academy at their very first Kingsway recording there for Argo but recorded by Decca engineers; it was of Handel's Op3 in February and March 1964: Note the famous Decca Tree

Wonderful footage there, ER - many thanks! I would say from the lady in the cloche hat, and the Roller, probably end of the 1920s? And that liftable windscreen! Either they put up with stiff necks back then after taking a ride, or those erect wing collars protected the menfolk to some extent!

It was taken during the 1929 Three Choirs Festival at Worcester. The lady is Carice, his daughter (and prime mover in preserving the birthplace). The spaniel is Marco, the cairn terrier Mina (after whom his last piece was named). The filming was done in the garden of Marl Bank, his last home and the place where he died.

Marco & Mina are buried at the birthplace museum.

Hmm... tricky....
2nd from the left might be Gordon Jacob; far right is almost certainly E.J. Moeran; extreme left possibly John Gardner?
