Was an enthusiastic horn player in high school, now I'm in architecture school in college and no longer play. Funny how I used to watch this and adore the music, now I watch and marvel at the performance hall.
i cannot get over how amazing this group is. its absolutely unbelievable. i listen to this all the time and never get tired of it. it was actually my ringtone for awhile. :)
I am surprised that nobody has said "Three people are trumpet players" Amazing job on this recording. Definitely some of the best talent this world has to offer!
Very happy I play one! There's isn't a better instrument! I've only been playing for a couple years now and hope to get this good someday. So much fun!
I could totally play this, with about 33 hours of practice a day under the assumption that I will live to be 500...never mind...even under those circumstances I could never even come close!
They have tons of confidence and aren't afraid......Fergus talks a lot about singing before playing something. He makes a really good point with it.......the instrument is merely an amplifier....Sing the music before you play it, it helps with confidence and builds your ear for pitching correctly. Listen to lots of recordings, and take lessons with lots of different people. Not just one person as everyone has something different to offer...a different perspective.
I agree, this is as good as it gets. However, they DO make mistakes in this recording, which I admire. ALL recordings these days are edited from many many takes to get one perfect recording, and so I enjoy this performance more than any other.
did you notice the horn at 4:49 sorta choke on his saliva or something and slightly mess up... thats a hard section there, with a fast passage, loud and low as well. I give props to that guy for recovering so quickly!
@@AndewMole in my experience you can see enough over the stand at normal height and also so much is communicated by just the way they play. I am sure it’s mostly just so the cameras can see the musicians clearly.
best at classic 'brassy' songs in Wagner and often used as a staple of American melodies. not useful for jazz or alternative in my opinion. They can be beautifully powerful to play, love playing it.
Ah, us horn players are only human afterall? No matter what the level, there is bound to be a cack somewhere along the line! These guys are of course fantastic and are def by far the horn gods!
I would love to hear you present those comments to that ensemble in person, or maybe post a video response of you playing it better. Oh and do it sooner than later they don't spend much time working on these pieces before they record them so neither should you!
@rugbyplayer9999 They many mistakes if you listen but they are professionals which is why you can't really pick them out. stefan made a few and so did klaus.
Lets see: Baborak is Czech, Stefan J is from the USA, Fergus McWilliam is from Scotland, and Sarah Willis is from everywhere (Born in the USA, lived in Australia, Russia, London among others). Only half the section is actually German!
True. But nobody ever claimed that this ensemble only consisted of Germans. And does it matter? When this was recorded, all of them played in the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.
who said anything about being mean? who said he wasn't a pro? I never argued his greatness however i was stating his tongue got slow, it wasn't a fingering issue as others had said. Though regardless of him having a professional reputation and being a very fine player it was very off for him to gesture like that. It could take away from the audience if you know what I mean.
uhm.. reading skills help. I said his tongue got slow, that isn't something you would need to comment on considering it happens to everyone and you can't prevent it, unless of course you were insinuating he never had the speed and focus to do it in the first place. thanks for acting big on youtube.
for stating his tongue got slow for one reason or another then saying he very visibly shrugged it off? perhaps it's in your school of teaching to make mistakes bluntly obvious however my background has taught me even if you were to make a mistake regardless of why it happened you don't wave a red flag to the audience, specially in recording. I am not a professional however, that is professional performance conduct.
his tongue got slow sux he probably sat there for hours going over it to prevent it that or he shrugged because he didn't care and was getting paid anyways
Ryan McGaha They do. You have to think about it. The Vienna horns only publish studio records, where they have infinite tries to get the best result. This was live. Also, the Vienna horns play almost only film music which you probably like better.
Was an enthusiastic horn player in high school, now I'm in architecture school in college and no longer play. Funny how I used to watch this and adore the music, now I watch and marvel at the performance hall.
That means that you are a very well rounded artist in every sense!!
@@jeanparke9373 de tu familia de
So proud to play this instrument!!
It truly is the most wonderful instrument in the world! I am so glad I did horn instead of clarinet.
I am utterly shocked and have no words for such a beautiful sound and item God had made.
The 5 people who dislike this video do not know amazing musicianship.
素晴らしすぎです。最高です。涙出そうです。
Sarah Willis is my horn hero!
i cannot get over how amazing this group is. its absolutely unbelievable. i listen to this all the time and never get tired of it. it was actually my ringtone for awhile. :)
生でききたい！！
すごすぎる**
Oh, for a second it looked like the little section in heaven reserved for the best horn players.
4:29 Norbert Hauptmann 👌🏻😌
It's a shame more people aren't aware of the music this beautiful instrument is capable of producing!
I am surprised that nobody has said "Three people are trumpet players"
Amazing job on this recording. Definitely some of the best talent this world has to offer!
What beautiful music! Thanks Berlin Ensemble!!!
I've listened to this 6-part series maybe 10 times and think it is one of the true gems CZcams. Thank you for posting them dflatmajor!
Very happy I play one! There's isn't a better instrument! I've only been playing for a couple years now and hope to get this good someday. So much fun!
they are virtuoso
Now that is what music is all about.
Horn is an exceedingly diffucult instrument to play. This is as good as it gets.
i think of the horns and this song every single day, hour, and second..
help me!
I hope to be this good one day. These kind of people inspire me to keep playing.
*jaw drop* that is a smokin' tempo. that's almost as fast as the regular speed...and those scales are played by violins!
aaaa AMAZING!!!!! :))) I love them.. and the 1st horn.. FANTASTIC!!!
Je les adore !!!
Weltklasse
G.Schneider.
quelle virtuosité incroyable bravo!!! je vous aime
this is amazing.
Brilliant! Well played
agreed, i like live recordings the most and i hate fake edited cd's aswell.
Also, why the heck would anyone dislike this? 3 people are out of there minds!
I could totally play this, with about 33 hours of practice a day under the assumption that I will live to be 500...never mind...even under those circumstances I could never even come close!
Karl Zawila same 😂
mother mother Mother...I surrender...damn thats awesome
Mamma mia che esecuzione!
Davvero di un livello superiore!
ONE WORD UNBELIVEBLE!!!!!!!!!
oh yeah, Baborák rocks as always :)
Excelente

FRENCH HORN IS AN AMAZING INSTRUMENT
I approve of this video.
its very nice!
man is this awesome or what
超猛的!
GJ!!
Awwwww Herr Hauptmann
Baborak
4:46
He seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
Defense99 good thing sarah willis was playing that walk down part too
omg! Radek Baborak! 😱
😌👌🏻
Listen to her. She's awesome. It's Sarah Willis :)
Wooooow, génial!!!
I agree, this is as good as it gets. However, they DO make mistakes in this recording, which I admire. ALL recordings these days are edited from many many takes to get one perfect recording, and so I enjoy this performance more than any other.
Ruslan in Ludmila from Mikhail Glinka for horns in F---that is realy the best...:P
amaizing
did you notice the horn at 4:49 sorta choke on his saliva or something and slightly mess up... thats a hard section there, with a fast passage, loud and low as well. I give props to that guy for recovering so quickly!
Sarah at 2:02... OMG...
okay last thing, if this was on itunes, i would buy it with out a doubt.
Eargasm
°_° just amazing,
i play french horn, and they're just mad XD
that is probably the hardest excerpt in that piece.
Wow they have their stands really low.
It’s so they can be seen on the camera. There’s no other reason to put them that low.
@@maxwellstein9953 to look at each other?
@@AndewMole in my experience you can see enough over the stand at normal height and also so much is communicated by just the way they play. I am sure it’s mostly just so the cameras can see the musicians clearly.
More playable tempo than London Horn Sound so the runs come out nicely. And Sarah is so sick...pedal Ebs for the win
I love French Horns... they're so tooby.
Ruslan in Lundmila from Mikhail Glinka for horns in F---that s realy the best ..:D:D
Can the horn play a lot of music?
best at classic 'brassy' songs in Wagner and often used as a staple of American melodies. not useful for jazz or alternative in my opinion. They can be beautifully powerful to play, love playing it.
no
why is it sometimes French horn, and sometimes just horn?
It is the same thing but most musicians prefer to just call it horn. French horn is considered street slang.
This is not perfect, but the sound is great !!!! french horn has the most beautiful sound from all the classisc instrum !!!
Roman Carnival Overture is Berlioz. This is Glinka. Ruslan & Ludmilla Overture.
Ah, us horn players are only human afterall? No matter what the level, there is bound to be a cack somewhere along the line! These guys are of course fantastic and are def by far the horn gods!
I would love to hear you present those comments to that ensemble in person, or maybe post a video response of you playing it better. Oh and do it sooner than later they don't spend much time working on these pieces before they record them so neither should you!
Where can I find the score for this?
@rugbyplayer9999 They many mistakes if you listen but they are professionals which is why you can't really pick them out. stefan made a few and so did klaus.
Sorry, can't say that. The group represents people from several countries.
stefan dohr could come in a pink jumpsuit and i don't think anyone would mind it if it he played that.
Lets see:
Baborak is Czech, Stefan J is from the USA, Fergus McWilliam is from Scotland, and Sarah Willis is from everywhere (Born in the USA, lived in Australia, Russia, London among others). Only half the section is actually German!
Sarah is from the US? I thought she was British...
True. But nobody ever claimed that this ensemble only consisted of Germans. And does it matter? When this was recorded, all of them played in the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.
where can i get the sheet music??! I can't find it anywhere
That's what i call a high register
if angels play the trumpet then God plays the Frnch horn! lol french horn players are the best kissers of the brass players also!
@rugbyplayer9999 Practice, practice, practice and Stephan doesn't make many mistakes although I did hear a clinker on a high note in this video.
@rugbyplayer9999 Haha, well...look at the names though....Fergus isn't exactly German :P He went to the University of Toronto :)
Fucking amazing!
Obviously they don't know that the French Horn is the best instrument! Must be flute players or something....
Superlative playing. but I cant ignore the guy second from right, he looks much like Benny hill. (I keep waiting for the Yakety Sax to begin...)
who's 1st horn player?
You can see it at the beginning. It's the legendary Stefan Dohr.
Who is he??? Did you really ask that?😂 jk
sooooo uh a score?
@rugbyplayer9999 they started practicing this in their mothers womb
well thats what you called: "The Power of German Engineering"
who said anything about being mean? who said he wasn't a pro? I never argued his greatness however i was stating his tongue got slow, it wasn't a fingering issue as others had said. Though regardless of him having a professional reputation and being a very fine player it was very off for him to gesture like that. It could take away from the audience if you know what I mean.
agreed with finners....
8 virtuóz zseni.
oops its ruslan ludmilla
uhm.. reading skills help. I said his tongue got slow, that isn't something you would need to comment on considering it happens to everyone and you can't prevent it, unless of course you were insinuating he never had the speed and focus to do it in the first place. thanks for acting big on youtube.

They don't compare to the VIenna Horns
Ryan McGaha
They do. You have to think about it. The Vienna horns only publish studio records, where they have infinite tries to get the best result. This was live.
Also, the Vienna horns play almost only film music which you probably like better.
