Good job to the horn player and the conductor for letting the horn player take a lot of the freedom with the timing lol

For our marching show one of our horns played this solo while the rest of the band marched silently waiting to join in. 😍

your band had an actual horn for the solo? that's so cool. whenever we have any type of solo for horn/ mello we just play it on mello since we have a small band with 1 trailer for the brass and batteruy

Beautiful interpretation by the horn player! An earlier comment indicated that Stanislav Zastavenko was the horn player. (Recorded in 1967, conducted by Evgeniy Svetlanov.)

Excelente interpretación, he escuchado a los mejores cornistas del mundo actualmente, interpretar este solo precioso de corno, pero son pocos los que en el compás N° 20 hacen el "TENUTO" en cressendo correctamente como está escrito. Puedo decir que, en mi investigación, solo los artistas rusos logran una interpretación perfecta y verdaderamente expresiva y cantada con sentimiento como lo quería el autor de la obra. FELICITACIONES AL CORNISTA que por cierto, su nombre no aparece en este video y eso me parece descortés para el artista. Excellent interpretation, I have heard the best horn players in the world today interpreting this only precious, but there are few who in the bar N ° 20 do the "TENUTO" in cressendo correctly as written. I can say that, in my research, only Russian artists achieve a perfect and truly expressive interpretation and sung with feeling as the author of the work wanted it. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HORN PLAYER in this case, that by the way, his name does not appear in this video and that seems to me discourteous for the artist.

Vincent Beard The clarinet has a call-and-response, and their tone is fantastic, so I don't see any problems ^_^

agreed. The clarinet complements the horn quite nicely

[@kittehkwat952]

It’s perfect how it sounds, the clarinet player makes the piece what it is

[@cmw12]

I was happy to come across a clip where the horn actually uses vibrato. The straight tone of the clarinet is jarring in this context, and fails to have the same impact.

[@PuertoricanPatriot1]

Sucks for you guys then. Best version on youtube.

[@zacdavid184]

That says more about the versions on KZbin than anything else, if this really is the best.... which I highly doubt. I think you're just trying to be a contrarian, or else maybe have never heard a horn played well?? There are appropriate times to use vibrato with horn. The Tchaik 5 solo is not one of them.

[@MasterCool6]

It's open to discussion, however a little vibrato would probably the most historically accurate way of playing it

[@Apfelstrudl]

I can barely think of any situation where a Russian vibrato is more fitting than here.. Have you never listened to old Russian or French recordings? Even the German master Baumann played with a slight vibrato.. I as a hornist like it a lot when it fits the piece.

[@JordyD08]

The one problem I have with French horn is I can’t fucking hear it lol, I want to like it and it looks interesting as hell but I can’t hear it especially when they’re not even doing solos, it’s supposed to be beautiful yes, and it does sound nice from what I can somewhat hear, honestly idk how loud it can be, but that’s why I play trumpet, never will there be a more piercing sound that is sheer power and dominance that compares to the trumpet imo, with that being said I want to see French horns and how they sound because I love a powerful instrument but whatever I find is just a soft, scared sound that feels like it is hiding from the other instruments, pls don’t hate but if there is any thing with what I described from the French horn pls direct me to it

[@pebeerre58]

I played trumpet in the band of my high school, then I went to play French Horn in the Youth Symphony of my country and I really do not understand the comparison you make, the same could say the trombones of the trumpets, if you mean power of the bronze . The horn and the trumpet are instruments of the family of the "metals" but they are different. Both have their beauty, as well as listening to an Al Hirt, Winton Marsallis or Sergei Nakariakov playing the trumpet with brilliance, like listening to a Radek Bobarak or a Hermann Baumann performing with impressive mastery the French horn. All instruments have their beauty and are part of a total sound

[@Nesious]

Try the intro horn solo to Jupiter by Holst (watch?v=Nz0b4STz1lo) Ein Heldenleben, from this marker to about 29:13 (watch?v=_2-dLoWorUs&feature=youtu.be&t=1710), the entire thing is a great horn piece though (watch?v=5C2oCoVBVAk&feature=youtu.be&t=95 is what it is like from the horn players' perspective, it's deafeningly loud) Fanfare for the Common Man by Copland (watch?v=H-tK0yesm0Q) Loch Lomond, Frank Ticheli (watch?v=GQdjErr_Ixs&feature=youtu.be&t=297) for high school literature Coming Back Around, from How to Train Your Dragon (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHSXnXmLpa6Sarc) for a movie soundtrack and Trumpets blended with Horn Theme from Back to the Future (watch?v=jnFl1q0IYTA) from Vienna Horns Most of these aren't necessarily the loudest horns can play (Ein Heldenleben is up there though) but just some random samples from all types of stuff. Mahler 5 and Beethoven 3 are places to look as well for volume.

[@imvujhane7074]

FlashVsZoom Yeah I play French horn and most people just forget our section. One time we weren’t even welcomed into the stage and we had rushed to our seats before the band started playing

[@johnd1063]

You are frankly delusional if you think a trumpet can outpower a horn. Outpierce, perhaps, but few things compare to the power of even a single horn playing at full fortissimo. Forget about the whole section. The horn is the heart of the orchestra.

I hate the wobbly sounding Russian horns!

[@johnd1063]

Agreed, and it sounds particularly terrible here; it is completely at the expense of an actually appropriate, good, smooth, centered horn sound. Poor musical choice!

[@colesorensen3540]

@Maxine Pluto mostly in Europe though. There are cases elsewhere, like Phillip Meyers in the New York Philharmonic, but I think you'll find a lot of people have a strong opinion against it, as many people think it makes the player "sound drunk" as I've heard it said, or that it hides or tries to replace good tone. At the bottom of it, it's all up to opinion though. I have heard cases in which vibrato sounds good, like with Stefan Dohr which is a lighter vibrato, but I tend to side with the majority in saying vibrato on horn doesn't sound as good, and I especially agree in the case of this solo.

[@roy817]
