It might just be the most beautiful horn solo every, but no cover is ever going to top the recorder version of this song.

I’m more impressed by the in-tune piccolo. Now that’s rare!

In elementary school I wanted to learn to play an instrument. My parents said they could not afford to buy even a used instrument, so borrowed a french horn from the school band inventory. I was told the french horn is the most difficult brass instrument to play, but that did not deter me. The real downside is I had to carry it to and from school everyday from my home a mile and a half away.
At age 71, I am watching this young musician perform the most heavenly part of this song, and it makes me so proud for both of us!

As a horn player, that octave leap is the most impressive part of this. So clean you could eat off it.

The French Horn has to be THE instrument among the others in the orchstra that speaks to my soul on a very different level.

Mike Ehrmantraut is killing it on the drums

My best friend played the french horn for Auburn University band all four years of his matriculation. At his wedding, he and three other french horn player/friends of his performed a french horn quartet. I was absolutely shocked how beautiful those instruments sounded.

That was worth rewatching a few dozen times, as both a horn player and a lover of the song. The octave jump is doable but a bit of a challenge. I'm more impressed by the player as he looks so young.

[benjaminsherriff]

this is indeed one of the most beautiful horn solos

I literally just got out of a horn lesson so naturally I tried to play this, and my god that kid has tone.

[HereComesBoi]

The octave jump on that A was just…👌 That is HARD to do on a horn, RESPECT for that bro💯

[plexquared]

oh my god... even HITTING that high A is hard, can't imagine doing an octave leap like that while still keeping a good tone.

[xanderriebock]

Just casually hits an octave interval effortlessly and so beautifully 😳👏

[Akam]

Finally something on this channel I can actually play

[maxedup]

Even though those notes don't look really difficult, they're so hard to play because of those octave leaps. Cleanest horn solo I've ever heard

[lincolnpierce]

I forgot about this performance. I used to listen to this a lot, but then I completely forgot about. I'm so glad I remember it now lol.

[_CaptainCookie]

As a horn player that was a really clean top A

[selalupeongo]

The best solo horn and so emotional with the piccolo flute

[Tooo]

that title is really doing tchaikovsky’s 5th dirty

[maddie-ytqn]

i have never seen a shinier french horn
