Ave Maria

[@azjc6352]

Gorgeously performed. Bravo from his # 1 Chicago fan (for over 40 years)!!

[@joseantoniodeabreu]

Beautiful. Baumann is one power of nature.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

I have heard Baumann play the Ave Maria so many times now, and every time I hear it I am deeply moved. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@allexandrenunnes8987]

Maesttro Baumann, an interpreter who will always be a great reference in the horn. Genius.

[@EdwinCWLeung]

My first time to hear this Russian instrument. Enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.

[@carlovazquez1586]

Edwin C W Leung Russian????

The Russian Horns playing in the back

[@shanemoroney8111]

Wonderful sound! Any more videos from recent performances would be much appreciated. Did anyone else notice the white cables ties holding Herr Baumann's mouthpipe to the stay, genious. I used some tie backs today to mend my garden fence, great invention.

[@hornmaestro5559]

you See what happens when you sing through you horn

[@얼음공주-k7f]

amazing! my daughter is playing horn. i wish she would play like him someday.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

I am sure she will if she keeps at it. Best wishes to her.

[@Радсчастливтемчтоесть-имею]

не первый раз и с упоением слушаю это исполнение на валторне сложной человечной вещи СПАСИБО

[@CAnon-mg1xm]

very very beautiful........perfect. Bravo, bravissimo!

[@avrumgolub2735]

If the date of this recording is indeed in 2013 (around Christmas time), Prof. Baumann would have been 79 years of age. He is and it's always been one of the most musical horn players extant.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Yes, indeed. He is 83 years old now. Thank you for watching and commenting. I am sure you enjoyed his rendition of this beautiful Schubert Lied.

[@avrumgolub2735]

rosmarinusofficialis I have been friendly with Professor Baumann since he first performed at Lincoln Center's then-called Philharmonic Hall in the summer of 1973. I have many of his recordings and Momentos including notes that I took at that concert. I am a physician, but, actually a horn player (age 71). Prof. Baumann chose a horn for me in 1977 which I still play. I was the first child-student of John Barrows here in New York.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Thank you very much for telling me that lovely story. Having taught at the Folkwang Schule in Essen, my home town, Herr Baumann lives there still. The above recording was made in a church in Essen-Kettwig during the 2013 Christmas concert which my late brother attended. I see that you are on Facebook, so why not link up with Hermann Baumann on his page. I am a female (perhaps you can deduce my first name from my YT ID) and my age is halfway between yours and Mr. B.'s

[@alexcarter8807]

Those horn guys .... "You've been bad! No valves for you for a week!" lol.

[@starwarsjunkie7776]

Man, Baumann was definitely reaching the borderline on his tone here. If this wasn't Baumann playing, surely it wouldn't be as well liked.

[@satinbarbi]

I agree 100%. The tone is far to bright and shallow. Where is that beautiful dark tone you usually get from a 103?

[@AFGalopp]

Still, there's more music and humanity here than in many other execution of Schubert's "Ave Maria". What's more, it's not for everybody keep practicing and performing after a stroke, because of the permanent neuromuscular disorders that it causes.

[@Радсчастливтемчтоесть-имею]

Прекрасное исполнение. Браво! Валторны возможности как царицы симфонического оркестра показаны лучшим уровнем. Спасибо

[@youfaceyo]

I love Hermann Baumann

[@ginofrench4535]

This was truly a beautifully performed piece. Brought tears to my eyes

[@ttmts972]

Wunderbar ❤💫

[@bruvlover6469]

I wish i could play like that

[@lukasbaumann9603]

beautiful

[@TheGigiparce0]

What are those in the back? I've never seen anything like it.........

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

They are Russian horns. Think of organ pipes. Each horn plays a separate note. That is why some of the players play more than one horn. The lower the note, the longer the horn.

[@marioalonsosanchezparedes6004]

Sólo la idealización de la pureza...pudo haber creado esta música.. ^¡ y con que instrumentos ¡^

[@JackBlack-i6k]

Dear maestro Baumann, I'm a student of John Cerminaro, who told me to listen to all of your recordings. He admires you above all other horn soloists. This piece was his 1st solo. You are so great. Please tell me how to email you. God bless you... JB

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

I regret having to inform you that Hermann Baumann died on 29th December 2023. www.hornsociety.org/home/ihs-news/73-hermann-baumann

[@JackBlack-i6k]

@@rosmarinusofficialis He's in heaven now, though we heard quite a lot of heaven trailing from his bell before he left us...

[@catholicmusiceverywhere]

God bless the Marian Fathers. God bless Ukraine and Russia. Fellow Christians keep praying we can change history 💗

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

As an atheist I do not find the music particularly Catholic, just beautiful.

[@Wojtas764]

Great...I like this song.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Thank you for watching.

[@elisabetejacinto1283]

Lindíssimo

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

[@jacekm.9864]

THE BEST !!!

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

I agree. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@carmelonatoli9017]

Bellissima 😉👍

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Grazie.

[@Echocookie8948]

Anyone have the sheet music for this version? I prefer the higher version on horn.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Unfortunately I don't. Thank you for watching.

[@erwinhood5830]

I think you can find it on imslp.org

[@おさかな-さん]

最後の音程でわろた

[@trainliker100]

I always thought this would sound nice on a horn. Or perhaps a trio or quartet of them. I think a cello would be another nice solo instrument for the piece.

[@zunathanzu]

Beautiful! One of my favorite tunes. The Russian horns sound like a human voices. Did you film and edit this?

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Thank you for watching, Nathan.

[@zunathanzu]

I've come back two years later to have another listen

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Almost three years, Nathan. I am always pleased to see your name here.

[@harvinsky]

no pipe organ accompanied?

[@Kintat09]

Lovely tone

[@danutabakinovskaya1469]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elgoscoix]

It sounds slightly bugle-ish to me. Not my favourite French horn sound. Apart from that, it's a beautiful performance.

[@rosmarinusofficialis]

Thank you for commenting and watching. I hope you stayed the course.

[@allmusic962]

I can tell you that I sure did

[@mmljaguar2764]

Das ist leider nicht mehr DER Baumann seiner besten Zeit; technisch und musikalisch immer noch sehr schön nur grauenhafte Tonqualität des Alexander 103....

[@Zenkai251]

He sounds out if tune, but that is likely due to the tuning of the pipe horns behind him. Li

[@joh_zen9116]

Das liegt aber nicht am Hornmodell...
