@flrt311 No, Cleveland uses a metal flute. Also the sound of Cleveland's fllute is slightly metallic, and does not have the projection of Gareth Morris, who was the principal flute of the Philharmonia orchestra. If you search Stravinsky Firebird Philharmonia, you can see Gareth Morris and the flute that he plays. The performance has Alan Civil's picture, Alan Civil is principal horn.

@60ECg This recording is actually of Cleveland is it not? Principal flute should be Maurice Sharp if that's the case. :)

Perhaps one of the greatest arguements for the existance of God is that a select few very special people have the unique ability to create works of extraordinary beauty. Certainly Debussy was one of those.

@JohnnyMeyerdotcom aside from the fact that it's a piece, not a song, I agree with you completely

The record that I have of this performance--cbs records 32-11 0056 has dates of 1966-1968. Principals are Gareth Morris-flute, Sidney Sutcliffe - oboe,

Does anyone know what year this recording was made?

Bem que poderiam tocar mais Debussy aqui no Brasil.

I love this song. Makes you want to laugh or cry, perhaps both...
