This is a superb horn player. I'm talking Dennis Brain territory. (As a young horn player, I suspect I was not alone in almost wearing out my copies of Dennis Brain playing the Strauss and Mozart horn concertos). His style seems to me to be a somewhat lighter touch than many others and I think that suits this concerto very well. Alas, I eventually went over to the "dark side" - the trumpet. But I had one technical glitch that I might have heard in several of Mr. Gruber's performances. When making a large downward interval playing legato, he doesn't seem to go straight to the lower note but you briefly hear something else along the way. Sort of sliding into the note. At the level he is playing, I suspect this is deliberate and perhaps just the style he wants to play. My problem, on the trumpet, was in the opposite direction. I couldn't slur a big interval up with hitting something in between and I once had a frustrated teacher keep telling me "THINK of the note you are about to play and ONLY that note."
