Dennis Brains recordings of the Mozart concerti are singular, representing true respect for the Mozartian text & showing the same time Dennis Brains unique style.
I regard Michael Hoeltzels recordings of the Mozart concerti as the best regarding true Mozart style. There is no EGO in his recordings, just Mozart. And the sound master is also an excellent horn player, soloist & teacher: Wolfgang Gaag (German Brass, professor at the Munich Hochschule fuer Musik, long time principal of Bamberg Symphony & Muchich Philharmonic). The only thing in Dennis Brains recording is the path-paht-paht, but thatīs Dennis Brain. That was his way of playing. By the way, all other things recorded with Dennis Brain reflect this great genius, as a horn player and as a wonderful musician. ============================================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leonard & Peggy Brown Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2004 7:25 PM To: hornlist Subject: [Hornlist] Hans, Mozart, Brain Herr Pizka, There are many, many recordings of the Mozart concertos but I wish to only ask about one.
