What do/did you think of the Stravinsky, Stanfordian?
Gramophone was generally positive, with this as the final sentence in the review:
Strongly recommended despite a certain lack of rapture in the forthright choral delivery.

(Not quite sure what that means! Did Stravinsky expect rapture? )

Haydn: Symphony No. 26 in D Minor 'Lamentations' - Bruggen/OAE. What is the wind instrument played in the 2nd Mvmt adagio? It is hauntingly beautiful in this version.

A bassoon in high register?

Thanks, BBM. You could well be right.

A quick check of the score reveals that the sound is created by a pair of oboes in unison.

(The bassoon is - at least in the HC Robbins Landon-edited Philharmonia score from 1963 - used only to double the 'cello & Double Bass part; that is, only one instrument each of 'cello, bassoon, and DBass.)

It came as a jolt when I worked out that when I bought my copy, the edition was less than twenty years old!

Thanks, FHG. The Bruggen version is gorgeous. Any other recommendations for the 'Lamentations' symphony? Perhaps I'll start a thread on named Haydn symphonies.

I bought that in Woolworths, pretty much when it came out. Probably my favourite recording. Nice and swift, too

I have linked this before on another thread. What a Proms piece this would make.
