Wonderful piece played by a wonderful and incredible musician !!🎶👌 I will share your brilliant recording with all my musician friends in my orchestra near Paris.

イングリッシュホルン素敵ですね～買おうか検討しちゃいます(*^^*)どの楽器を買おうか迷います♪こんな素敵な音色を出せるようになりたいたいです😁

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He certainly has tamed that unwieldy instrument, bending it to his aesthetic desires.

こんなに美しく演奏できて羨ましいです。イングリッシュホルン、買ってしまおうかしら…

Beautiful work and played wonderfully....

It is a great pleasure to play this concertino

Wonderful concert!! Congratulations to your interpretation! I would like to hear this particular one concert on a Tenor Saxophone !

This by far is the best English Horn player I've heard. Gorgeous intonation,tone and musicality. Bravo. Jesus, that was excellent.

didnt know hikaru can play trompete

What a wonderful piece of music, beautifully played. Vasks is my favourite contemporary composer Many thanks for making this available I do wonder if Peteris Vasks has heard and been influenced by the music of Vaughan Williams!

Your tone and projection are great! I'm playing English Horn in a school concert band and I'm struggling to project my sound; do you have any tips?

this is an English horn not an obo

In England, ironically, it's not the English Horn, but the Cor Anglais!

Vasks..., incontestablement un génie méconnu. Quel concerto !! Il magnifie le cor anglais. Bravo pour l'interprétation. L'apaisement la douceur nous transporte, puis l'inquiétude la surprise, la joie, l'angoisse. On passe vraiment par toutes les couleurs de l'arc en ciel. Merciii

Your fingerings are so clean and graceful and your sound so smooth and clear. As an oboist who has just picked up the english horn, the keys seem so far apart and hard to press at the same time without getting blips. I hope to one day achieve as beautiful a sound as you!

Delightful performance of a delightful piece! Thank you!

rare piece

Mr. Watanabe is one with his instrument. How wonderful to have found the best instrument to vocalise your deepest feelings.

No English Horn is as interesting and intriguing and captivating as his playing English Horn

Pēteris Vasks's Concerto for English Horn and Orchestra, admirably played by Takahiro Watanabe on English Horn and the Frankfurt Orchestra is a real treasure!

偶然見つけました！ 素晴らしい演奏です。✨ スイスのバス弾きSより。😉

Gosto muito!

You Sir, are a true master. Lovely sound with the right amount of vibrancy to carry - and your instrument really sings and it never feels overdone. I think you have really owned this piece. Thank you for posting.

As a cor player myself I’m in awe of this piece, the arrangement and of course the outstanding playing and interpretation. Where can one get this score/arrangement.

Thanks, thank you very much

Wowww the folk music section is amazing!! It’s very melodic and charming.

Wow. I'm an amateur oboe/cor player in London and always up for new pieces, especially for the cor. This piece is indeed Vaughan Williams in style but all also very reminiscent of the Swan of Tounela with the sweeping legato passages and fluidity which I love too. The performance is outstanding and not drowned out by the orchestra which is a testament to the soloist as well as the orchestral direction. Such a shame tracking down the score is almost impossible and nothing on social media that I can find.

Bravo. Good sound and intepretation👍

Never heard this before - just fabulous! Does anyone know what folk songs mvt 2 is based on?

Wunderschön, danke 🙏

Wonderful performance, bravo!!

A very nice concerto....very well performed. My compliments!

Very beautiful. To be a solist in one large orchestra and performing music in front of a large group of people , requires nervous as strong as steell and senses as gentle as spring breeze.

SUGOI

That was beautiful

Super Takahiro!

Absolutely enchanting. As an oboe and English Horn player, I''m just blown away.

Its sound is a caress to the soul. Thanks Obo Man!

Bravissimo!!!

ピアノでの演奏は多いですが、パイプオルガンでの演奏は初めてで、とてもviolinとoboe の音色が明瞭でそれぞれが美しく、パイプオルガンも素敵で可愛らしささえ感じられて素晴らしかった、感謝します。

Wonderful sound💜

parabens...vc tira um som perfeito no corne ingles sou novo nesse tipo de instrumento admiro a sonoridade do mesmo

Absolutely amazing! My favorite concerto for a woodwind ever. My biggest congratulations and thank you to Mr. Watanabe for making such a wonderful performance. Bravo!

Great stuff! Good to hear the cor anglais, as not common. I love the oboe anyway so this is a treat.

Dies war das erste Stück von Bach, dass ich kennengelernt habe. Danke für die schöne Aufnahme! 素晴らしいです！

Pommes

Wonderful performance! Gorgeous tone and phrasing. It's too bad there isn't more beautiful music written for the cor anglais because it's a uniquely beautiful instrument.

Lovely playing and music! I had heard a commercial recording of the Vasks before which felt rather lifeless, but this is wonderful. I'm a composer and currently writing an English horn concerto myself for a friend.
