This CD is excellent !! They used extra musicians to complete the arrangements .They had some percussion and an extra trumpet to help complete some of the arrangements.Some of the pieces they play are Baccanale, Saber Dance, Russian Sailors Dance, Overtutre to Candid and others. This is the first time had ever heard them play . I will be buying more from them.

Here's another left hand tuba, I thought this was an interesting looking conversion.

From where I sit the violins ARE on the right! Am I the only one here who listens to orchestral music with the headphones reversed?

If you're in the orchestra, the violins are on your right ... if you're in the audience, the violins are on your left. And no, you're not the only one -- it can be useful to hear it from the orchestra's POV.
