Talk about padding out Janacek's brass...

"To be fair, it turns out that Kubelik padded the upward flourish of low strings (10:25) with trombones, IIRC, which makes everyone else sound weak at that point."

In Jenufa there's a great folk dance in the first act, "Daleko, siroko". Here's the original orchestration:

Jilek's recording really shows off the added trumpet, but I can't find it on Youtube. It's on Spotify if you enter "Jenufa, Jilek" track 5 "Oh my darling Steva" at 1.40. Trumpet is at 2.02. This is a really good version of the opera in great sound - by far my preferred version.

Here's the added trumpet in a less obvious version

And here's another option - banging beer bottles onstage, from 24.00

Or clapping, from 23.00
