[Robert M. Bratcher Jr.]

Ask David Lennick. He might have this LP somewhere in his collection of discs......

>Perhaps I didn't make myself clear;  this record, a 10 inch RCA Red Seal 78, is not an actual rehearsal, it appears to be a production demonstrating a rehearsal.  As I said, it's either supposed to be comical or just a portrayal of what happens in a rehearsal.  It may or may not be scripted but since a composer is listed, I assume it is.  Most likely it's along the lines of Britten's "Young Person's guide to the Orchestra".

>But talking about actual rehearsal recordings, one of my favourites is Ansermet rehearsing Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique.  I've only seen this LP once, when I borrowed it from the CBC record library many years ago.  When I more recently went to borrow it again so I could copy it, we found that it had disappeared from the library, along with its cards from the card index.
