Vocalise, Op. 34 No. 14 - Rachmaninoff - horn

Performed at Curtis Institute of Music on 11/15/21! This is the last song of Rachmaninoff's song cycle, 14 Romances, Op. 34. There is no text to this music, and it is meant to be sung on one vowel of the singer's choice, which makes it easy for other instruments to play. This arrangement is by H. Voxman.

This is the piece I’m doing for my solo ensemble, and you play it so well, definitely my inspiration!

I’m playing this for a solo in front of a judge and everything, I’m using this video is a reference and goal!

I got gold at a competition and I used this to learn the piece! Thank you so much!

[잔물결-vf]

This is my favorite song. And i love the sound of horn

Beautiful.... I love that you picked something nice from the Voxman book. I have a few younger students working on this one and now they can have someone really good who they can emulate.

Thanks, Martina!

I plan to play this for my mellophone solo in s&e, this video has been a great help!

Wow! So, Rachmaninoff's Vocalese is my all time favorite piece of music, and my go to version is Anna Moffo-Leopold Stokowski (I'm sure I'm alone there). I've listened to at least 40 different performances of this piece, and yours really captures the spirit of this piece better than most, and for that I am grateful to you for all the work you put in and spirit and energy you invested.

Wow! Thank you for putting this video on YouTube. I am practicing this piece now, so the video is very helpful and it’s always great to listen to very good French horn players 🙌
As a kid I played the French horn for 8 years. Only 4 months ago I returned to playing after 25 years hiatus, taking lessons and joined a community orchestra after being inspired by TwoSetViolin 🙈😂

I cant figure out the grace note, i think thats what its called but im doing it for my solo

[jpuff]

I play French horn and I absolutely love this! Where can I buy the book/sheet music for this arrangement?

[DAVID-etlj]

good tone but at the beguining I think it was too much loud
