Antonín Dvorák, Charles Gounod
In 1958 John Barbirolli, principal conductor of the Hallé, gathered some of his fellow musicians to perform a quite original program for small orchestra highlighting the wind section of the orchestra. This album includes the lovely Dvořák’s Serenade for winds, cellos and double-basses and the rare Petite Symphonie for a nonet of winds by Charles Gounod.
