It's interesting to contrast this full orchestral version of 1901 with the 1893 version for smaller forces, which conveys a more intimate feeling. To me, it seems closer to the composer's personal conception of death "as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards the happiness of the hereafter, rather than as a painful passing away."

Here are a couple of sections from a 1988 Harmonia Mundi recording:

(All the sections are on YouTube, if you want to hear them)

I picked the CD up many years ago, and it remains a favorite; really lovely performance.

Nuts. Now you've reminded me of how I missed out on a great deal on a bass recorder, when a local music store went out of business. 😪

I do have a sopranino (what she's playing in the second piece) given to me by a friend many years ago. A fun instrument-- Baroque, though, of course, not the Renaissance instruments she uses.

What I really lust after are crumhorns! And since I don't like to post comments here without including music, here's a piece for them, which I have a feeling may be Eduardo's favorite instrument too:
