R. Strauss Horn concerto Op. 11 featuring David Cooper and Cary Chow

[@KevinGenus]

This is one of the best live recordings of this piece I've ever heard... and to think it's not with an orchestra is just scary.

[@Fran588]

Kevin Genus I think the Hermann Baumann’s could be the best recording ever! Both Baumann and Kurt Masur performance were a fantastic combination of good criteria.

A really excellent accompaniment from Mr. Chow. As far as the horn player, he seems to be totally into making beautiful music. I recently heard him play Britten's serenade for tenor, horn, and strings, and it was incredibly beautiful. As a reference, I heard Clevenger and the Chicago Symphony perform it back in the late 70's. I would put this guy's performance as good, if not not better, than that. I'm thinking that he'll soon be playing in Cleveland or Chicago. He has an incredible gift of musicality, and of equally importance, the ability to perform, if that makes sense.

Berlin!

[@liammcconlogue9584]

Hehe you were right

[@Quickness_Fitness]

This man called it

[@nathanhalberstadt6152]

David Cooper's playing is so amazing! He is the next Dale Clevenger/Eric Ruske.

[@alistairhenderson2531]

Well, he was Eric's student, and Eric was Clevenger's student, so it doesn't seem like much of a stretch.

[@Arglarglarg]

Aaaaaand ... he's the next principal horn of the berliner ! :)

[@Arglarglarg]

Jean Klodusse I read on facebook of the berliner that he (David Cooper) now occups a post that was vacant since Baborak left !

[@Arglarglarg]

Yeah, I now understand why we saw so many 1st horns invited since 2010 (like Eric Terwilliger)... that was not so unpleasant after all !

[@Artariastein]

The next Stefan Dohr! :-) !

[@dasteufelhund]

As fine as Baborak and Dohr, the threshold of everything that is about horn and the lyricism of Cooper's playing just all-encompassing. It's simply superb.

[@jondavikingjones3419]

I found the music for this and nocturno because of this awesome horn player

[@adammoen9687]

The page turner blew this gig off

[@Artariastein]

Was für ein Hornist! Überragend! Ich freue mich für die Berliner Philharmoniker! Und für mich... :-)

[@josephlovinsky8307]

Coooooooooop! Great playing Sir! Enjoyed this performance very much.

[@paulmasgalajian8102]

In my opinion Mr. Cooper is the premier hornist in the world today. His technique is superb, his sound perfectly focused, with a dark centered sound regardless of the dynamics. His tone isn't harsh and "all over the clock", as if he's in a shouting contest in Yankee Stadium. If Hornists want to sound like a Euphonium, they should perform on one. Or worse, play a musical saw if they prefer a tremelo !

[@adrianleverkuehn9832]

Wow - this guy can play! No wonder he's the new 1st horn in Dallas. I hope to hear him "live" someday.

[@LuoxianHe]

Adrian Leverkuehn he’s the principal horn of Berlin Philharmonic now~

[@harrisonjam8194]

Principal horn of the CSO now ;)

[@axelrobinson5589]

Who else got this for practice?

[@hassankabiri2851]

Very beautiful and so deep. I enjoyed so much. Thank you for share...From Iran...

[@arribachrach2966]

very beautiful playing... a few technical glitches in the last movementAB

[@gerocarfi6217]

Wow!!! Very great SOUND!!! :-)

[@るんるん気分-p5x]

今度挑戦します。 難しそうだけどやりがいありそう！！

[@zangoose..]

[@dominiquemartin9237]

le son la force l élégance le phrasé la douceur tout est en David!!! un trio de haute voltige avec Stéfan et Sarah quel bonheur

[@colinwaylett9122]

Fantastic playing!!

[@TheEdlock]

I'll second that. Is that a medlin horn ?

[@nkenney1]

Geyer.

[@paulhorn27]

He is what you would call a "horn player's horn player."

[@andrew4282]

Does anyone have the music for this? Both piano and horn parts?

[@王梓岳-k8n]

I think you can find it on free-scores.com

[@pepmint2635]

Man, watching all these videos makes me realize I fucking suck at horn

[@kornoist]

bravo david!

[@peteradam4151]

That´s the way a horn should sound...Love and peace!

[@itchy2345]

The pianist looks great, too.

[@benfalcon5745]

[@hus2463]

[@cookieclash3015]

Cool

[@bernieflores3092]

Just amazing! I'll spend my next five years attempting to sound like this playing Strauss 1....Has anybody noticed the difference when he played this on an Alex 103?

[@ethanmusc9535]

Yes!

[@jondavikingjones3419]

what type of horn is he playing on????

[@nkenney1]

This is a Geyer. He played an Alex in Berlin. He now plays a Lewis in Chicago.

[@Infidelio]

disappointing sound

[@Davicokeiro]

Nah...poor playing.

[@cookieclash3015]

Like you can do better
