I know Debussy's Premiere Rhapsody is usually played with piano accompaniment. Is there a version with orchestral accompaniment?

Yup, it's there. I actually found the orchestral version before the piano version. It's a fun piece. Enjoy!

If your library subscribes to BBC Music Magazine - you'll find a performance there, too. The Mag has a cover CD each month.

Interestingly the Rhapsody is one of the few pieces where the piano version was written first. Debussy wrote it as an exam/competition piece for the Paris Conservatoire with piano accompaniment and orchestrated it later, rather than the usual system where piano reductions are made of orchestral parts.

I have hidden away on Sneezy a scan of the orchestral version (out-of-copyright minature score). It's huge. Contact me privately if you want access to it.
