About this Album:
Mozart excelled in all areas of composition, and his horn concertos – despite making up a very modest part of his total output – still reside among the finest achievements in the horn literature. The composer became acquainted with the mellow sonorities of the instrument from an early age, courtesy of his friend Joseph Leutgeb, who had been employed by the Hofkapelle in Salzburg. It was not until the remaining 10 years of his life, however, that Mozart finally set to work on his six concertos for horn.

Apart from K370b/371, which represents the composer’s first attempt at writing a horn concerto and whose musical content differs markedly from that of the later ones – there are no ‘hunting effects’ in the rondo and the first movement is more declamatory in style than lyrical – it seems that all of the works were composed for Leutgeb, who was often a target of Mozart’s mockery and teasing. Though the numerous points of harmonic, melodic and structural correspondence between the pieces suggest that Mozart did not take this genre especially seriously, the works still delight the listener for their gaiety, lightness of touch and warmth of orchestration. It is therefore a shame that only three of the six pieces remain complete, a resulting combination of more pressing work, lost manuscripts and the composer’s untimely death. Jeurissen, the soloist on this recording and principal horn player of the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague, has taken it upon himself, based on analyses of similar passages in other works by Mozart, to work up all of these fragments into playable, practical versions. The results are laudable, and Jeurissen’s passion for the works is evident from his highly accomplished, charismatic playing. Hungary.

Listening to classical music is like a journey through history. It's incredible to think that the compositions we hear today have been cherished for centuries.

[rodstartube]

First time in my 52 years I hear a Mozart's concerto with harpsichord accompaniment

[ginabohannon]

The french horn is one of my favorite instruments! They are so regal and powerful. Of course I'm bias since my brother is a professional horn player in South America. So I dearly love the french horn.

[brunovanhove]

Muziek gaat gepaard met seizoenen voor mij, en deze horen bij de herfst zoals de bladeren die van de bomen vallen in mijn Park 🍂. Laat ze maar komen die lange herfst wandelingen, en druk in het weer met bomen snoeien, en hout verzagen voor volgende winter, en weg stapelen 🪵
Geniet van de herfst mensen 👍

[Hannodb]

My road trip music since I was 3 years old!

[sanebooks]

I have adored Mozart since I was a little kid. When I was 12 or 13 an aunt of mine gave me an LP from Deutch Grammophone of all of Mozart's horn concertos. I'd never heard them before. They were just love at first sight and it has never changed.

[canman]

MOzart horn concertos are his best in cocnerto writing.

[victorakandu]

Listening to classical music is my greatest life support after the all sustaining Grace of God the Father!

[shin-i-chikozima]

The diversity’s depths of Mozart’s music is immeasurable, and beyond description, and full of admiration and emotion

These masterpieces are a paramount gift to horn sound lovers
My emotion is immeasurable depths

Tokyo is full of Mozart’s enthusiasts

[andrewkalweit]

Concerto No.3 Larghetto was a flashback moment. Did this movement for a solo festival when I was in 10th grade So long ago.

[lucapelliccioli]

There was a French horn theme going through my head, I supposed it was Mozart's. So I tried this album and lastly I found it... Of course it was the 3rd movement from the 4th concert, fortunately the rest of album was good too, lol.

[Tocsin-Bang]

From the time my music teacher Lt. Col. Sam Rhodes retd. introduced me to the Mozart horn concertos back in the early 1960s, I was hooked. I dearly wanted to play the French horn, but my parents couldn't afford the instrument or the lessons - back then you couldn't hire an instrument, and the school had none. It never happened, but I still love the instrument.

[StuffLeaver]

Mozart's horn concertoes make me calm, joyful, and hopeful about life.

[jessepalacio]

It is a chilly, lazy, Sunday and this music adds to the relaxing atmosphere of the day.
I love the horn.

[Rx-mnfv]

There is still something right in the world! Such marvelous music played so beautifully! Thank you for making life richer.

[petrvacek]

I don't know any better classical compositions than these french horn ones, plus his clarinet pieces, such a genius, so melodic and playful

[damianciortan]

Mozart sounds amazing in comparison with modern music and contemporan music.❤❤❤👏👏👏
