Flanders and Swann - Ill Wind - Mozart Horn Concerto

[Canute31]

Not to be too pedantic, but that 'sides of the Atlantic' stuff doesn't correlate to spellings. Canadians continue to spell things 'correctly', for example 'neighbour', 'colour', etc. We are neither American nor British. English is spelled differently in many places, but it is a pity to have these words in the American. It make no sense. Were they American, then American spelling. British, then British spelling.

This pair were brilliant.

I love this, it's so perfect! Now Mozart 4 will never be the same!

[orichalcum1]

Eloquent, witty, charming - musical perfection...  bravo Flanders & Swann...

[ElTGV]

Such jocosity, such virtuosity, this musical curiosity. Thanks for your generousness.

As an American friend observed to me recently, "We stopped speaking and spelling English a couple of hundred years ago." There are distinct differences between English spoken either side of the Atlantic, and for that matter between different places in the UK and between England and other English speaking countries.

Thanks for posting this, especially with the words.

Apart from the lack of the Inroduction before the Song Which adds to the Song this is otherwise

Just Right.

Thanks for uploading this, been looking for this for ages, regards.

"neighbor" is US accepted spelling, as "neighbour" - in UK. Similar to "color" - "colour", "honor" - "honour". Check first before "correcting". Or post your own with whatever spelling you prefer.

@bassoonn Consider for a moment the nationality of this pair. When they wrote the lyrics they certainly would have written in British English, rather than American English. If however this was a piece by two Americans, I would have no problem at all with your statement. The case is petty, and in truth completely irrelevant to the music, so I'd thankyou not to escalate this into another comment war, thereby spoiling the page for any subsequent viewers. :)

neighbours not neighbors

lol I'll take up the tuba instead :P

[PeterSpurway]

At 1:08 it looks as though Morn is spelt 'mom'. Great song, thanks for posting.

[PeterSpurway]

@PeterSpurway And also the Hom after it, rather than Horn.

[Mythmonsters]

Thank you for the original version x

[betterlaterthannever]

Thank you SOOO much for posting this! I've been hoping someone would.

@KZ2Snipa-- the English commonly spell the word "practise"-- Americans spell it "practice."

[KZ2Snipa]

Isn't it spelled practiced?

[Pedgerow]

@KZ2Snipa The verb is "practise"; the noun is "practice." In British English, at least. So you'd practise the horn in order to get more practice at it.
