Re: [Hornlist] Rare horn piece to be performed
The Konzertstueck was recorded previously on period instruments by Gavin Edwards, Robert Maskell, Roger Montgomery and Susan Dent with JE Gardiner and the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique for DG. Also, the "Vienna Horns" CD has a great rendition of the piece. So, it has been done before on Single F's. I couldn't find the names of the hornists playing the OAE concert, but it would be fun to hear...

[Hornlist] For Your Summer Viewing Pleasure..
I recently have been watching and listening to several new DVD's of concert films from the Unitel archives. First, a DVD featuring Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra that was filmed in the late '70s. It has Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade as well extras including Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier Suite. Excellent performances. The second DVD is more Richard Strauss. Strauss's Don Juan in Rehearsal and Performance with Karl Boehm and The Vienna Philharmonic. Nobody knew Strauss like Boehm. Boehm in rehearsal is very frank and he knows the score down to the finest details. Quite eye opening and well worth watching. The performance of Don Juan is about as good as it gets.

The disc, though, does contain some other interesting items including Hindemith's Sonata for Four Horns, and a recording Strauss's 2nd Horn Concerto from 1951 with the BBC Welsh Orchestra.

[Hornlist] Romantic Music for Brass
The Center City Brass Quintet has released a new CD entitled "Romantic Music for Brass" on the Chandos label (Chandos CHAN10140). Richard King, Principal hornist for the Cleveland Orchestra, is a founding member of the quintet whose members all have had experience in Major American orchestras. The works on the disc are Mendelssohn's Quartet No. 1(premiere recording of a very fine arrangment by Verne Reynolds), Ewald's Quintet No.3, and Oskar Boehme's Sextet for Brass. A trumpet playing friend of mine, who usually is not a big fan of brass quintet CD's, turned me onto this disc as he was impressed, as was I, with the musicality and lovely sound of this group. Needless to say, the playing on this disc is specatular and I was impressed by the lovely trumpet playing. Highly recommended even if you're not a fan of brass quintets. Happy listening!

[Hornlist] great concerts on DVD
I recently found two films of legendary concerts that are now on DVD. Both were filmed at the "Wiener Festwochen" in 1962 and 1963 with Hans Knappertsbusch conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. The one from 1963 is a concert performance of Act 1 from Wagner's "Die Walkuere" and it is such an inspiring performance that no superlative does it justice. The other DVD is from a concert in 1962. It includes Beethoven's Leonore Overture no. 3 and the 4th Piano Concerto with the great Wilhelm Backhaus as the soloist and the Vorspiel and Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. I especially love Backhaus' playing as well as the marvelous accompaniment that Knappertsbusch and the orchestra provide for Birgit Nilsson in the Wagner.

[Hornlist] Burning Pianos, an update
French Pianist Carries Out Threat to Dump Instrument in Lake Agence France-Presse - 28 July 2003 A French concert pianist ended his career Friday by hiring a helicopter to drop a worn-out piano into a lake in the south of the country. François-René Duchable played Beethoven's Third piano concerto and Saint-Saëns' Second to an audience of 2,000 before the instrument was consigned to the depths of the lake of la Colmiane near Nice in southeast France. He said he was retiring at the age of 51 to "change his life", far from tours with a perpetual eye on the time. The gesture, he said, was to show that everything was over, to get rid of the weight of a career. "It was a purification by water," he said. Purification by fire follows on August 31 at the Provençal village of Mazauges. Duchable will play at a festival whose organizers have been "friends since 1984" and will end the evening by burning the clothes he performed in. "I leave with a real exaltation, a great freedom for what will follow," he declared as he prepared to bury the stage-life once and for all. Duchable sees himself as a "man of nature" and never liked his life as a concert pianist, or the world of music, let alone the public that came to hear him. "How could I like one percent of the public since we know that 99 percent of people have no access to classical music? I cannot feel love for a public that despises others. People think being a musician reflects a passion. It doesn't. My profession has never brought me happiness," he said. "My love of music has never been in question. I reject money, the tinsel, this rigid, dusty world, a whole system in which I have never been at home." Duchable said from now on he wants to "live a more personal, tranquil existence, rediscover calm and solitude," to divide his time between his beloved sport of cycling, pottery, about which he knows little or nothing, and perhaps learning other musical instruments. "I want to do much more interesting things than keep on doing for 30 years what I have been doing for the last 30." "I have held on for 35 years," he said, recalling his first concert given when he was 16. If he does return to the keyboard, it will be in circumstances of his own choosing and at his own rhythm, in hospitals, schools, prisons and asylums. The pianist said he might also cooperate with actors and sound and light artists to offer another approach to classical music and plans to conduct master classes in Switzerland and Paris.

[Hornlist] The end(NHR)
Off the record By Norman Lebrecht, Evening Standard 2 July 2003 Four weeks after she was garlanded as young artist of the year at the more-than-usually meretricious Classical Brits in May, the 15-year-old violinist Chloe Hanslip lost her record contract. She had been signed to make five discs for Warner Classics. Now, after just two releases, she has been cast on to a heaving scrapheap of star discards with the company's best wishes for "her every success in the future". Such cruelties, inexplicable as they might appear to a musician of Chloe's innocence, have become the tedious norm in a classical industry that has frantically offloaded its ballast of talent in an effort to stay aloft. Warner has jettisoned, among others, the tenor Jose Cura, the conductor Daniel Barenboim and the baroque masters William Christie and Ton Koopman, the latter in the middle of a Bach cantata cycle. Chloe was supposed to represent a clean start for the downsized, London-based label, a statement of faith in some kind of future. She made a debut at last year's Proms and received warm reviews for a disc that coupled everyone's favourite Bruch concerto with another that hardly anyone knows. She had just come home from a tour of Korea and Japan when the verdict was delivered that Warner would not record her again "in the foreseeable future". It was not for want of promise, for hers is a talent that warrants perseverance. Nor were there compelling commercial grounds for letting her go. So why did Chloe get the chop? Surely, even in these heartless times, they don't sack a kid after two goes on the magic roundabout - or do they? The truth of the matter is messy. Inflated expectations led Chloe and her parents to become increasingly assertive in their dealings with Warner Classics. Its manager, Matthew Cosgrove, was under orders from New York headquarters to impose an "A&R freeze" to help mitigate Warner's catastrophic merger with AOL. Cosgrove was effectively forbidden to make any more classical records but, as Chloe's greatest fan, he went ahead and booked her to record two contemporary concertos, by Philip Glass and John Adams, with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra this summer. These were sensible and sensitive selections. Both composers are relatively well known, neither concerto has been recorded more than a couple of times and both are easy on the fingers and the ears. Here was a chance for Chloe to shine in a realm of her own. But the family began to have second thoughts and there came a point where corporate patience snapped. In an unrelated move, Chloe parted company last week from her management, IMG Artists, retreating to reconsider her career. The corporate record industry has no further use for classical artists. Sony recently got rid of its last conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, in a free transfer to Deutsche Grammophon. One journalist was inspired to write that he had been "wrested" away by a rival, but Sony has been trying to offload him for years. Mired in movie scores, teenie warblers and a pianist's reduction of Radiohead's greatest hits, Sony Classical has no work for a man who does proper symphonies. Nor, though, does anyone else. At DG, Salonen will cut no more records than he did at Sony - one or two a year. His first task will be to accompany the slinky pianist Helene Grimaud, who was signed by DG when the now-disgraced Vivendi boss, Jean-Marie Messier, took a shine to her. DG, don't be fooled by the name, is not a homespun German repository of high culture. It is owned by Hollywood's Universal empire, which in turn is owned by the French utility company Vivendi, which in turn has been falling to pieces since Messier bought up the universe. DG's artistic judgment is governed by a fat-cat's fancy. Other corporate labels distort classical definitions to the point of mutual self-destruction. EMI's new limelighter is the Balkan piano player Maksim who clatters the keyboard in a manner that would have made Liberace blush. Jose Cura is reduced to singing cruise-liner duets on BMG with a Polish popster, Ewa Malas. Decca is developing a young lad who can be made to sound, in dim light, a bit like Frank Sinatra without the menace. All of these inconsequentialities are airplayed on so-called Classic FM and trotted out once a year on television in the Classical Brits with the aim of luring customers to the shady rear or dank basement of chain-owned record stores where classical CDs gather dust. The flash of television exposure gave an instant sales boost in the past two years. Last month, however, it flopped. Almost a million viewers deserted Classical Brits, dropping from last year's 3.1 million to a paltry 2.2 million. The big labels who bankroll the show blamed the network for giving them a late slot, but the underlying cause is a public ennui with the crossover mush that has replaced serious classics on the maj

According to The Times, Duchable, 51, told the French Catholic newsaper La Croix that his life as a touring pianist has been "hell" and he delivered blistering parting attacks on some of his fellow musicians. Alfred Brendel's latest recording, Duchable said, is "discouragingly artificial." Maurizio Pollini has "worn himself out from repeating the same things" and Martha Argerich has "managed to become a myth by always playing the same four concertos." Duchable told La Croix: "The piano is a symbol of a certain domineering bourgeois and industrial society that has to be destroyed. Used as this society uses it, the piano is an arrogant instrument which excludes all those that don't know about music." The pianist says he plans to create a sensation with his final three concerts, according to The Times. The first concert, scheduled for the end of July, will end with a piano crashing into Lake Mercantour. The second will finish with his recital suit on fire and the third will culminate with the mid-air explosion of a grand piano to make the statement that "the concert is dead." After the concerts, Duchable plans to strap a portable keyboard to his bicycle and pedal around France giving impromptu performances, the Times says. "I have had enough of sacrificing my life for 1 per cent of the population" Duchable said. "I have had enough of participating in a musical system which, in France at least, functions badly and limits classical music to an elite." Duchable won the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Prize in Brussels at age 16 in 1973 and has received awards for his performances and recordings of Chopin, Liszt and Poulenc.

Re: [Hornlist] Bach Cantata 79 The Lord is a sun and shield
Cantata No. 79 is for two horns in G, if I recall correctly. There are 6 movements and the horns play 3 of them. The first horn part has a fairly high tessitura with many written high C's. The killer part is the 3rd movement which is about 60 measures long, contains no rests, and has an extended high part right in the middle of the movement. If one has a very good high range and good endurance it is all very playable. A nice Alexander 107 would be higly recommended, although I do at least one guy who has played this part on his 8D. If you have any doubts, play second horn on this gig.

Among the players listed on the payroll was hornist Friedrich Hradetsky for whom Beethoven wrote many of his famous low horn passages. The orchestra that day was made up of 36 violins; 14 violas; 12 cellos; 7 double basses; 4 each of the woodwinds and brass plus two contrabassoons; 3 trombones; tympani and al least 4 percussionists. Beethoven apparently liked huge orchestras when he could get them. So much for the modernist approach of "smaller is better" . Ted Albrecht is professor of musicology at Kent State University.

[Hornlist] Just say NO!..
I found this in the Opera-L archives written by a gentleman from France: ..But I don't want to argue details...It is the overall concept here that was a failure and the real failure is the direction of the Liceu - and many other opera houses, mostly in Europe - who should "just say no" to such self-absorbed and wrong-headed productions. So many times, you wonder if the artistic leadership was on vacation when the decision was taken - and it continued on through the development, design and rehearsal. A simple example would be a production a few years back a friend of mine attended - a Covent Garden Ring. I can't remember whether it was Mime or Alberich but the character was dressed to look exactly like Kermit the Frog. At every appearance on stage, the audience was in stitches. I understand that the costume designer might have been from Albania and might not have ever seen Kermit but isn't there supposed to be an Artistic Chief who can say "no?" I remember seeing a Boris in Paris. In the first act chorus, every time the Chorus had to sing the fortissimo "Slava, Slava!" the director had them jump to their feet. And, of course, every time the attack was ragged and late. It was this same production, during the love scene, where the curtain rises, the only vegetation is a tall poplar, center stage, flanked on either side by two very round bushes. After the initial outright laughter died down, you could still here the occasional supressed titters throughout the scene. Just say No! I also remember an Otello in California where the final act curtain goes up on a back lit wall with our soprano - who I will not name - in a darkened foreground bed - an image representing nothing so much as a haystack. She certainly heard the laughter. Just say No! .. ___ Horn mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/listinfo/horn
