Mozart Horn Concertos pour cor Hornkonzerte, Nos. 1-4 - 2553

Amazon.com Barry Tuckwell has recorded the Mozart horn concertos a number of times, always with notable success. In this, his first digital traversal of the set, he leads the English Chamber Orchestra himself, with particularly satisfying and well-integrated results. While he is capable of adding a heroic ring to his burnished tone, Tuckwell's approach is generally subdued and sensitive. He avoids the understatement that marked his earlier recording of the concertos with Sir Neville Marriner. His playing here is more interesting, and while as conductor he is not always able to get the warmth from the strings that Marriner did, he elicits from the English Chamber Orchestra a reading characterized by beautiful expression, excellent phrasing, and spot-on ensemble. The horn is slightly prominent in the balance, which serves to ensure that Tuckwell's lovely pianissimo playing comes through. --Ted Libbey Product description Mozart – Horn Concertos / Concertos Pour Cor, Hornkonzerte Nos. 1-4 / Barry Tuckwell, English Chamber Orchestra ‎/ DECCA Audio CD 1984 Stereo / 410 284-2 UPC 028941028426 /// Label: Decca ‎– 410 284-2 Format: CD, Album Country: Germany Released: 1984 Genre: Classical Style: Classical /// Tracklist: Horn Concerto No.1 1 Allegro 4:43 2 Rondo: Allegro 3:41 Horn Concerto No.4 3 Allegro Moderato 7:56 4 Romanza: Andante 4:53 5 Rondo: Allegro Vivace 3:28 Horn Concerto No.2 6 Allegro Maestoso 6:25 7 Andante 3:10 8 Rondo 3:16 Horn Concerto No.3 9 Allegro 6:36 10 Romance: Larghetto 3:58 11 Allegro 3:20 Composed By – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Directed By, French Horn – Barry Tuckwell Engineer – John Pellowe Liner Notes – Barry Tuckwell Liner Notes [Translated By] – Gerd Uekermann, N.
