4.0 out of 5 stars good selection, good performance, July 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Instruments Of Classical Music: The Horn (Audio CD)

This CD is a very good selection of pieces from a number of well known composers featuring the horn. The performances are also very good. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys the music of the horn. As one who plays it myself, I can recognize a good performance and this is definitely it.

This review is from: The Instruments Of Classical Music: The Horn (Audio CD)

There are some standard songs on this cd and there are some other songs arranged for the horn. I've listened to a lot of French horn playing and these tracks are pretty good (and I play the instrument). This cd is not one of the standard horn cds that every person should have (see Dennis Brain's recordings of the Mozart Concertos), but this cd will not disappoint. Bottom line, if you play the horn, like the horn, or have never heard the horn, don't pass this cd up because it is a good addition to any collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD, February 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Instruments Of Classical Music: The Horn (Audio CD)

This is an amazing CD for French Horn enthusiasts. The last few tracks aren't centered on the FH, which is a disappointment, but the rest of the CD is amazing.
