Steve,

I enjoyed this very much. The sound is so unforced that you can really
believe that the pieces isn't hard to play at all. I agree with Hans that
the few stopped F's were probably uncalled for but didn't find them too
distracting overall. I also don't really know historically when horn
players began to sit as a matter of course. I have seen many engravings
from Mozart's era of ensembles and they all (except celli) seemed to be
standing, even the horns. Still, I am not highly skilled at music
iconography and may have missed those with them sitting. Maybe there is
someone on the list that has more solid info on this.

A Natural Horn list? That's new to me. Hope it's not hosted by Yahoo but
I'd be interested in its location even if it is.

Thanks,

Peter Hirsch
