Kleiber would never have done any such alterations nor would the philharmonic hornplayers have done it. I probably knew Carlos Kleiber better than any other horn player, having (just) played Rosenkavalier over 90times under his baton, plus many Othellos, Madame Buterfly, La Boheme, Fledermaus, Woyzzeck, Brahms, Beethoven & many other things over the years.
Adrian, it is an audio illusion, but to get sure 100%, I will ask one of my philharmonic friends tomorrow & let yaou know. ============================================================ ================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2006 3:22 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Brahms symphony no. 4 with Wiener Phil./Kleiber Does anyone have the recording of Brahms 4th symphony with Carlos Kleiber and the Wiener Philharmoniker on the DGG label ? 44 bars (measures) before the end of the first movement,the first horn plays a high B natural (or so it sounds to my ears),which is an octave higher than Brahms wrote.Looking at the score it is musically logical.Is it actually there,or is it an audio illusion ? I'm trying to settle an argument.
