Never heard the complete Ballet before; only the Suite drawn from it. Quirkily melodic with top-class orchestration, the Suite attracted me straight away with its fantastical subject matter. The work in its entirety is, therefore, an absolute treat. Many thanks!

I'm so glad that Piston called this "The Incredible Flutist" and not "Flautist"! As James Galway once said, 'I play a flute and not a flaut'.
Yes, the flautulence (groan) is terrific!
