[Hornlist] Re: NBC horn player under Toscanini 1948
I've been enjoying a lot of those Toscanini performances on YouTube lately. I was a little surprised by Jaenicke's phrasing on the Nocturne where he breathes after the D# (played). I had always thought of that note as a pickup to the next part of the phrase. The more I listen to it, the more I'm enjoying his tone quality. Somewhere I thought I saw that that performance was from 1937. - Steve Mumford Hans wrote: Thank you. Nice to find Bruno Jaenicke with Mendelssohns Nocturno. Nice "vibrato" but quite fast tempo.

Quoting Hans Pizka: Thank you. Nice to find Bruno Jaenicke with Mendelssohns Nocturno. Nice "vibrato" but quite fast tempo. That's because they crammed this onto one side of a twelve-inch (30 cm. to you!) 78 rpm disc. The recording runs well over four minutes, which is very rare for a 78. BTW, the other side is the scherzo played by John Amans (label credit). A very nice performance. Unfortunately, these were recorded using the Brunswick light ray system of electrical recording (to get around the Western Electric patents that everyone else licensed), and all copies sound pretty leathery. I have a U.S. and British pressing, and the latter is somewhat less bad; it's the copy I used for my Horn Players of the Past CD that some people on the list have a copy of. And yes, I do feel slightly guilty having two copies of this, since, though not even remotely a major rarity, it also isn't exactly common, either.

Hans, Arthur Berv is definitely the first player. Clearly, the second is one of his brothers, Jack or Harry, most likely Harry, though I don't have the documentation of who played what part in front of me at the moment. The video I just pulled up on Youtube actually had the date of December 1948, so maybe I saw a different one. I knew Arthur and Jack pretty well, but about 20 years after the performance was filmed and I never met Harry, so I can't be 100% sure on the identification of the second horn player.
