An Old Favourite
The last of this week's "symphonies I have played with good horn parts" is a much less well known one - that of Cesar Franck. This was something that was in the "Music of the World's Great Composers" collection that I have previously mentioned was very much part of my learning of orchestral music.
...
It remains a favourite although it is quite a while since I last listened to it. The link is to the first movement - but the video is the whole symphony so I hope it keeps you sufficiently interested to listen to the end - there is some lovely horn playing in the second movement.
And for the brass band folks - unusually there are two cornets in the orchestra for this symphony!
