Andante from The Creatures of Prometheus by Beethoven

A chamber arrangement from the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus by Ludwig van Beethoven. It's an excellent sample of the range and distinctive tone quality of the basset-horn, an instrument primarily used during the classical period. The performers are Leila Storch (oboe), William McColl (basset-horn), and Anita Cummings (piano). The sound file is used in The Creatures of Prometheus (Beethoven) and basset-horn.
