This CD opens with the Gliere Horn Concerto - this is the best recording available of this piece. Neunecker has musicality that is unparalleled in any other recordings available. The other tracks are also played incredibly. The music of Glazunov though not a concerto, is played with an orchestra and is beautiful to listen to. The smoothness of the horn is wonderful. You won't find that on any other recording. The exciting Shebalin Concerto concludes this CD, and if there are other reecordings, I can guarantee that this is the best one. Basically, the only issue I have is with the title of the CD since only six of the thirteen tracks are from concerti.

This is easily one of the best recordings of the Gliere horn concerto ever made. Marie Luise Neunecker plays with passion and an amazing sound to match. She is not afraid to approach this piece in a new light, and the results are stunning. I am more in love with this recording than any other, including the very acclaimed Hermann Baumann. This is essential Gliere, and an essential addition to any horn player's library. I would reccomend this Gliere recording over any other, and I think after you hear it, you will easily understand why.
