Identify this piece of music, please

on: May 03, 2006, 03:11:30 PM

The attached mp3 file is a snipett of a piece on an old CD I have with no name & no information. It's driving me crazy not knowing the name of it. I'd also like to get the sheet music to play it. Are there 2 people playing?
Thanks

Thanks Alex. Now all I need to is get the music, a second piano and an extra pair of hands. Piece 'a cake.

The Scaramouche was originally composed for saxophone and orchestra (a little bit of trivia), and there's a piano and sax version (which I played once) and a 2 piano version (which I have also played). All 3 movements are great, but the first one I actually learned was the Brazileira.

It's fun and audiences love it!

The pianists are John Ogdon and Brenda Lucas, aren't they?
