The look of relief on his face at the end was priceless! Awesome performance!

[@ThomasPalowitchSr]

Now that is what a horn should sound like. Brilliant performance. Silky slurs, excellent technique, golden tone,perfect breath control..I hope you have the stellar future you deserve. You have a special gift to share

[@davidwei5908]

One of the best!

Ramez and Gruber do it fine.

Supriman los aplausos por favor

Мне нравится.

Красивейший концерт для валторны, наряду с концертом Глиэра и Концертино Вебера. Это все его, Марка Грубер ... Местами хочется большего, видно что опыта ещё маловато, но справился с волнением в 3-й части, бывает что не всё получается именно там где не ждёшь...

yun zeng is the best

After watching his fingerings it seems to me that most German players predominately use the b flat side and the F side for only a few notes. My question is why not use a single b flat horn with an F extension instead of supporting all the extra weight? If the answer is the sound I politely disagree, the majority of German hornist seem to prefer a very bright, euphonium/trombonish quality easily achieved on the aforementioned single b flat with an F extension valve.

[@SandordrEsik]

They tend to like the Alex 103 and many of the leading German orchestras require that instrument and its typical sound.

[@richardjx5442]

Oh you mean a single Bb + F as Dennis Brain used !? I agree.

[@warrenwilson4818]

I liked Katerina a little better. Is he .01% flat or is it me?

[@KevinGenus]

Yes, he is, was from the beginning. Those excellent mics reveal the truth.

[@StocksIn60Seconds]

You’re insane...

[@richardjx5442]

The mike setup and balance is as close to perfect as I have ever heard. The triple mike Mercury recordings of the 50s and 60s are the tops !

[@danielibanezgarcia]

I find this guy excruciatingly boring. I still cannot understand how he became solo horn of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony. Perhaps I am just comparing him with Seidenberg, which IMO is a way better horn player and musician.

[@user-mi9ex8ez8l]

danielibanezgarcia 😆😆😆 Your comment is absolutely stupid. Please, don’t show other people how unmusical you are)

[@ignazzzzzio]

It is easy to criticize not exposing yourself, that is, playing for others!
