Stefan Dohr: R. Strauss' Horn Concerto No. 1

[@tracymckerrell4955]

Playing this with Stefan Dohr TONIGHT!! Can’t quite believe it, very lucky.

[@MercenaryLocusGaming]

Did anybody scream at the end?

[@tracymckerrell4955]

It was great! He was an absolute joy and spent a lot of his time with the local french horn students, then sat in the orchestra and joined in with some of the other pieces we played. Top man!

[@Gundy09]

Has to be the single most stressful piece to play. All horn players know every single note and articulation and are just waiting for a mistake. Stellar performance and undoubtedly one of the best players. At the end though it is nice to know your human.

[@masonroush832]

AHHHHHHHHHHH

[@vascopinheiro812]

Its bravo

[@hyzaar99]

Having been the horn player in an ensemble playing this piece, that was probably one of the best times of my life

[@Coton881]

What a wonderful performance...perfection! Truly the King of the horn!

[@dominiquemartin-bg8ol]

Sans commentaire le meilleur corniste du monde incontestablement la perfection absolue !!!

[@azjc6352]

A 40 member orchestra sure sounds pretty darn great! Oh, and Stefan was excellent as usual.

[@BryanKujawa1]

FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE! Love hearing Dohr play!

[@laconciadellalora]

Stefan? GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! and again GREAT!!! Thank you for play like this!! Alberto

[@samuilzlatev5664]

He played Strauss 2 in my country. The best thing i have ever heard live...

[@jackearly1487]

I have watched so many time, and it never fails to amaze me. Truly a master of the horn.

[@roystone9932]

That's one massive , beautiful sound.

[@ClaireJanezic]

you're talking about the scream, right?

[@garykuovideos]

Wow, what a beautiful sound!

[@cheesemongerinF]

In August this year in LA he did the 2nd Strauss c'to from memory also and NOTE perfect. When one can transcend technique as he can only the music comes out.

[@jaydee8872]

+cheesemongerinF That was an outstanding performance. Turns out he's a really nice guy as well. He was so accessible to students and colleagues

[@rilke1791]

The right notes and memorization are not what made this interpretation so great, those are standards and are expected from any professional. What puts him above the rest is his phrasing and his musical interpretation is brilliant!

[@jeffreychan6357]

Is there any recording of that performance?

[@TheYassarah]

The commentary at the end is exactly what I do everytime I finish playing this. Lol

[@kokonssp]

Deep and rich horn tone and orchestra matching. Great symphony!

[@avrumgolub2735]

Marvelously musical interpretation harkening back to Mendelssohn! Excellent technique, virtually flawless and eschewing bombast.

[@mysticcrazy3]

Going to be playing this next spring! So excited!!!

[@nicolatiana1770]

Stefan + Hansjörg --> numeri 1 !!!!

[@margefranklin3213]

It was a beautiful & stirring performance. I loved it too.

[@bridgetbolliger]

Such beautiful playing . Gorgeous phrasing all the way.

[@UturnatA2]

For the ones wondering, the subtitles at the end are :"Bravoooo!!!"

[@ariston8368]

Probably the best performance i know of this piece

[@JoeHeaton-p7r]

that's how it's done right there! Strauss #1 was my college audition piece. Always good to hear it done right!

[@Corvusthemad]

Wtf? That guy screaming? Yeah, we loved it, but your enthusiasm...wow.

[@JonatasMonte]

I admire him for that

[@furanrabbits]

JonatasMonte I thought it was totally hilarious 😂😂😂

[@samueldeleon412]

I mildly chuckled. Had I been there, I probably would have burst out laughing.

[@dasteufelhund]

Well, can't help if you are low energy.

[@lnhart7157]

I mentioned this video to Stefan Dohr a while ago, and he actually knew the guy by name and said he's regularly at the concerts and always very enthusiastic - and uncharacteristically Japanese he said he tends to be loudly enthusiastic.

[@bonniebowers4603]

I loved it but the audience scream drew me back in!!! Yes! Because he nailed it and that was the perfect way to express excitement for such an amazing once in a lifetime. And just becausw i am sentimental, i am pretending he wiped a tear away from his eye as well bc i would have been a hot mess if it had been me!!! Amazing inspirational performance. This was my college audition (a lortion) and it holds a special place in my heart. Amazing performance

[@massimostagni9129]

la voce evocativa di questo strumento rispecchia il romanticismo classico, il compositore trasporta l'ascoltatore in mondi fantastici.

The best play volume and neat note than ever, Bravo!!!

[@robinblankenship9234]

And, naturally, a quiet, reverent thought for the glorious Dennis Brain who really made the modern use of the solo horn a reality.

[@BigRedCatFTW]

That scream at the end scared me so much! jebus h crikey

[@seamushealy1535]

. . . "their very laughter is fraught with pain"

[@Blueboyo1]

I've heard that Concerto played numerous times by numerous players, but that was just extraordinary. No stridency, anywhere. Stefan has changed his interpretation since last I heard him play it. Much for the better. Brilliant.

[@kokonssp]

powerful, yet delicate and wonderful horn concerto

[@cmw12]

Why don’t horn players use vibrato? I always think it would sound better, but I know very little about the mechanics.

[@Joewylie3]

Edouard Hanslick (Viennese music critic) and Wagner poo pooed it. Older Moscow recordings (Valery Poeleck) used a wide vibrato. Leningrad's Valery Buyanovsky used a narrower vibrato. The French went so far as to practice vibrato with a metronome !! You can hear a vibrato in Myron Bloom's sound. (He said he never analyzed it). It's my opinion that if everything is absolutely perfect a natural vibrato will occur. (a nice litmus test). Lastly is the nanny goat vibrato. It occurs when you're shit your pants terrified !! HaHaHaHa

[@stephaniecurry45]

Joe Wylie cool but u didn’t really answer the question

[@tobiaslidstromstre2392]

Because horn players focus more on the quality of the sound than vibrato i guess.

[@samwescoat5750]

Bc it sounds like ass when you use vibrato on horn

[@philippredes4204]

Vibrato must be forbidden, it Sounds everywhere like crap

[@eliftezer4848]

I know him from Schubert/octet. He is Berlin Philharmonic member. My first listening has done and Ive been thinking he is good hornist. Screaming man: must be fanboy of R. Strauss's compose or Stefan Dohr. :p

[@keithyeung9097]

The loud bravo seems a culture in Japan.

[@johnransom539]

How about a close up of the wonderful clarinet obligato in the slow movement

[@baileybye4010]

Is he playing most of this on the F side of the horn? That seems like an unusual choice to me!

[@EvanJHagen]

+Bailey Bye I think his horn is fixed in Bb, which means pressing thumb switches it to F, unlike most American double horns. So he actually is playing on mostly the Bb side.

[@baileybye4010]

+Evan Hagen Thanks, very cool--I've never seen a horn like that before. Learn something new every day! :)

[@EvanJHagen]

+Bailey Bye On some double horns you can actually do this on your own. I just discovered this with my new Yamaha 667. You can redo the string and valve placement to make it fixed in either Bb or F.

[@ludovicomaletti]

you actually can switch any double horn to that setting pretty simply

[@alistairhenderson2531]

Any idea why he chooses to play it fixed in Bb?

[@cutechicken4770]

I’m playing this piece right now and it is beautiful. How do you nail the b flats? Need urgent help on the b flats (but reasonable cuz I’m 11)

[@adrianmiller4285]

Practice. Practice. Practice. But warm up carefully. My teacher says play the low stuff for twenty minutes before working up into the high range. And, "it starts to get easier if you do three hours a day"😮

[@swetoct]

Оркестр, конечно, немного местами-временами излишне шумноват-громковат. Этот лидер-валторнист ("штучный товар") Стефан способен валторну заставить зазвучать как того она заслуживает. Слушаю его исполнение с удовольствием и особенно соло во второй части 5-й симфонии П,Чайковского ( там валторна - царица симфонического оркестра).
