Felix Mottl arranged several delightful orchestral suites from the stage works of 18th century composers, including Gretry's 'Céphale et Procris,' a 'ballet-heroique' based on an ancient Greek legend and first performed in 1773. From an RCA LP made in the 1970s by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra under Robert Pikler we hear two numbers, a Tambourin and a Gigue.
