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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
And for the brass band folks – unusually there are two cornets in the orchestra for this symphony!<\/p>\n
