The First Question
My Last Solo
Continuing the theme of people playing the horn better than I did….. today it is the music of Saint-Saëns. This particular recording is with wind band accompaniment (which I think works quite well).
Russian Calm
Still with Russian symphonies – but for today’s “calm moment” I have switched from the sometimes grumpy music of Shostakovich to the lush romanticism of Rachmaninoff – his 2nd Symphony – the Adagio.
Russian Music
A late offering tonight – the link is to the first movement of Shostakovich 5 – another composer who wrote “interesting” horn parts. One of the ‘interesting’ things about this one is the range that is required.
Dominating Horns
Continuing my “symphonies I have played with good horn parts” today I link Mahler. I think every horn player would agree that they are good parts – if a bit scary at times 😱😱
Late Call
My older scottish friends may be able to work out how my very late post last night could lead me to today’s music choice – but for everyone else I think that perhaps you may need just a wee bit of help to work it out.
A Prelude To The Week
So far there has been, I guess, a lot of “heavy” music in what I have shared, so this week I am making a conscious effort to lighten up a bit.
