Some instruments in there sound so odd I can't name them, but they fit perfectly. What an unusual-sounding orchestra - this is probably the best version I heard.
It's just a standard orchestra but this is recorded straight off of a vinyl player (presumably) which is the reason for the oscillation effect you hear. Anyway, IMO this version is a bit too slow - I can't find my favorite version on YouTube.

Yeah, found a comment stating it was recorded in 1971, so you're right that it is just a vinyl effect. And I got all excited.
I'm an allegro person usually, but I prefer this one slower for studying/relaxation purposes.

Strokes/folks, but in my opinion it just drags. I always listen to this at about ♩.=45 and this is around ♩.=38. It just isn't as compelling to me.

I wouldn't mind a faster tempo, but I like the orchestration. And the vinyl effect makes it sound even more pastoral, haha. Anyway, I hear you. Heck, this is my favorite tempo for Widor's Toccata from Symphony No. 5:
Any slower and I feel like it drags, but for most people, I would imagine, this is way fast. Too bad there isn't a higher quality recording.
