M° Baumann is divine

[estevanhinojosa]

That one dislike is the guy who is salty bc they beat him on a natural even tho he plays on a descant horn

[raulq.o.]

I love the sound of original instruments. It's gorgeous and triggers my imagination sending me back to the XVIII century.

[maxbuskirk]

Amazing that a rolled up brass tube can be used as an instrument

[RodrigoOrtizSerrano]

The second Horn is Markus Schleich, now he's solo Horn in Neue Philharmonie Westfalen.

I love the Brandenburgs. No 5 is ku favourite, no 1 the least. But this horn solo is the best moment in the whole lot.

[matthiascheah]

Are we not going to talk about the violin hanging on the concert master's stand?

[Sshooter]

What's the date on this? Early 1980s?

[MrMarcvus]

Why are they hand-stoping when this technique was not used until the classical period - aka Mozart’s time? This could not be considered truely authentic!

[singlehorn]

This is good. But I still prefer them being performed on baroque horns instead. The sound is a lot more direct, without the hand in the bell.

Non si capisce niente c è qualcosa che non va
