hey ATTENTION ALL YOUNG HORN PLAYERS: ! Success is tidious, dont get discourged by the talent of this video and think you'll never be of this caliber and quit ! Anyone who puts in the time and effort into the horn will reap the benefits ! Mr. Babarak is without a doubt what we call a "Prodigy" someone with insane natural talent from a Very young age. Not everyone can be a "Prodigy" of the horn but I believe everyone (with imense time and effort) can be what we call a "Genius" of the horn, one who puts in an INSANE amount of hours and research in there horn but may not be the smartest in the world but can end up being one of the best horn players of todays era. SUCCESS is TIDIOUS, so keep playing that Horn !
+HORN MAESTRO Yes, spelling can be quite tedious as well.
Actually I wouldn't call him a prodigy because he started playing the horn very soon and I am positive he worked really hard (it wouldn't be fair to call him that, I'd say that most can become Baborak as long as they work a lot...)
Yes, but this person is not a prodigy. He started when he was seven, and spent hours every day and night until he got to the point of seven years and 14.
First of all I am 14 I played this piece last year.
Second prodigy can’t get any where I wasn’t one either, but after years of practice you get good
He spent the first few seconds of the video spinning the horn trying to empty the water from every conceivable location. A true horn player.
Hahaha I have never wanted to quit so bad in my entire life.
+Zachary McKinnon Haha :D I feel you bro ^^
😂😂😂 same
Clarinet players who look at Artie Shaw youtube videos say the same thing. Obviously, he has enormous talent.
When Jascha Heifetz made his American debut at Carnegie Hall in 1917,
Mischa Elman, another famous violinist, attended the concert in the company of the pianist Leopold Godowsky. At one point, Elman asked if it was getting uncomfortably hot in the hall, to which Godowsky quickly replied, "Not for pianists."
I watch this and wish I had kept playing. Consider using it as inspiration.
Ah Radek Baborak, you and Dennis Brain make me feel ever so inadequate.
Hermann Baumann, one of the horn players people could argue about being the best who ever was, started horn at age 17. 17.
Prodigy indeed. A lot of professionals would liked to play like that at 14! Thanks for this great video. No wonder he's in the Berlin Philharmonic.
hes not in berlin, he quit in order to be soloist, max lvl of legend achived
@@williamcespedes9578 now he’s quit being a soloist to instead become the horn final boss
How can he even lipp trill and do multiphonics with 14 years? Thats unreal!
he started playing at 7
So did I, I'm fucking 22 and you probably haven't even heard of me :P
Yeah, kind of... Funny thing, I can do multiphonics in tune pretty easily but I have an hard time doing fast trills :P
V I didn't say I can't lip till I just said you probably haven't heard of me
Germany
Those low notes he plays alone in the end are amazing.... never heard anyone play in such low register on the horn! Plus all the virtuosity and technical brilliance... No wonder he's become the best horn player there exists!
It's good to hear young people play so well ... I feel good to know that our orchesters will countiuo with great horn sections!
Extraordinarily accomplished playing. The multiphonics that Weber wrote are said to be impossible, so I assume that these are Radek's own realisation. This work was written 200 years ago!!! It has a daring that would put many "avant garde" composers to shame. Note the incredible range of the horn writing.
watkinder Those who said it was impossible clearly haven't explored the capability of a brass instrument. Weber knew what a natural horn could do and he wrote it
C K.M. This young player is, of course, using the modern double horn rotary (German) valve system. The hand horn players of Weber's day must have attained a staggering degree of accomplishment...perhaps akin to the clarino trumpet playing in the baroque era. The flexibility of the handhorn might well explain why so late a composer as Brahms persisted with the instrument, even though valves (perinet system) had become standard. What I do wonder is, if the realisation of Weber's intentions on the modern instrument has in a sense to be compromised...particularly with regard to multiphonics. Could all the extra lengths of tubing that have to be negotiated be a hindrance? I don't know, not being a horn player myself.
watkinder Blah! enjoy the music!
Those dimples are actually his never ending muscles
Oh my goodness, I'm 14 and have been playing my instrument for 4 years. He makes me feel like a beginner. I wish my trills could be that good....or just everything about his playing skill
ayy 4 year gang who is insecure now ayyy
To be fair by that point he’d been 7 years into playing
I love the french horn.
Goosebumps! Such brilliance...
I can't believe that he is 14 years old!!
His performance is impossible for me!!!
What an incredible start to a man capable of true mastery
i would kill for skills like this!
Practice
This is so amazing!
Baborak is definitely one of the best horn players of all times!
Wow!!!
This is amazing!!!
fantastic...!
What an inspiration
I think he is brilliant, well done!
Its Amazing!
Igen, az! Hali amúgy! :D Sajnos nem vettek fel az Istvánba. :/
Now I know how twoset feel with Chloe Chua
Amazing!
easily my favorite piece in the solo repertoire
I’ve got like 20 days to get this good
How’d it go?
Good question
the best ever he is awesome
the multiphonic part is amazing!!
Woow, certo che per la sua età, era bravissimo
I wholeheartedly agree with you there
I'm in the Radek Baborak part of CZcams! Yes, FINALLY!
Baborak is GOAT of french horn!!
I'm just blown away by this game I'm 11 years old and I'm a Mozart concerto part 1 ate how I figured it out, well, what can I say, a child prodigy
He's a fricken beast! My goodness!!
Does anyone know of any other horn works that utalize multiphonics? This is wonderful.
@Aljaž Venišnik it is entirely possible. I just finished working on the strauss 1, and I've been playing for 2 1/2. Beautiful piece :) Just need lots and lots of patience xD
wow!
Weber Concertino-On a single F -although the video is a smidgen out of 'phase' with the audio- it gave me an opportunity to observe that this piece is much more efficiently performed with the F (and the horn still allows for alternative fingerings)

Even the double notes at the end of the cadenza are not that bad and I think that is one of the hardest things in the piece.
@sneakyboxx
Carl Maria von Weber's "Konzertstück" (Concertino) for Horn in E minor J188 (op.45)
He's singing (or humming) as he plays. It's called multiphonics.
Nejlepsi klasicky vykon vubec!!!
Oh WOW!!
wow! and only 14 years old! Incredibile!
Rawhide..we're the cowboys who both agree..on a great hat, and love of horn playing.
@44jesusfreak4 In your opinion what is the "nature" of the horn? and what kind of piece do you think would?
i wish I could play like that
One of my best friends, Carl Ek was as good at 15. Baborak is a great player hands down.
He just DOESN'T miss....O_O
I don't think musicians should be so concerned with how many notes they miss. You can't be if you want to play this instrument. Just keep practicing and you will not miss as many.
Cheers
とても１４歳には思えない。素晴らしい！！
I’ve been playing for 13 years now😅and compared to this it feels like i wasted a lot of time😭i should have praticed a loooot more
@mjrix the kicker here is that smeone who claims to know Baborak since he was 12 or so states categorically that this did not result from stultifying practice. It simply came naturally to him. I am humbled.

I like the attention on technical rhythmic passages, consistent.
Player (at when recorded) Excellent breath support; as low end , pp< ff, and upper register!
Proof!
(from lessons); 'don't cheat your dotted-half, and quarter note value.
This is Phenomenal for any musician age and under 18 years!
What a career statement!
Congratulations on opportunity with Prague!
Gregory
USa
Wow
14歳でこれとかエグいてぇ
えぐいて
Nuh uh! That's unbelievable. How old was he when he started playing?
Pitty there is a sound shift, it is posiible to repair?
if he had reached this level, after six years then he had to practice every day. I play horn myself and I wish I had reached this level now (I'm 15)
Is it just me, or does that sound remarkably like the old Alan Civil recording? Especially the chordal bits?
@TheHorn103 probably more than 12 hours... and up to 24!
14!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD
what is the technique he used to play 2 notes at the same time?
Vyborne!nemam slovo rict!
I KNOW!
Wow, I need to learn multiphonics.
to think he's only a year younger than me,,,
whats this piece of music called please!!!
7:30... omg! how can he make those trinados only with the mouth?
LOL this is hilarious! but yeah, look where he ended up. NICE
14 years old??? That is beyond belief. Did this guy ever throw a snowball or play soccer? How old is he now, and for whom does he play?
Does anyone know what type of horn he's using?
@tophornmusic Well THAT explains it...
Haha I'm 14 and I asked my teacher (jokingly) if I could play this for the Solo and Ensemble contest so he silently looked at me and pulled out a duet book full of pieces of this level of technicality and had me sight read it and it was humiliating but actually not as bad as I expected it to be
I wish.
Anyone know where I can get this music
Just look up Weber Concertino IMSLP it will come right up
e gia a 14 anni si sentiva gia che avrebbe fatto strada !!!!!!!!!!
and the first part of the piece?? it`s very beautifull
Sorry the recording is out of sync. What a suspicious world we live in!!
@mjrix berlin philharmonic^^
I wonder what kind of horn that is
I could be wrong, but I think it's a Hans Hoyer geyer wrap
Is there double tonguing at 0:40 or single?
single xD
I would say mostly single but some double tonguing.
Thesoker86 i swear to go if its actually single
I would say probably K-T-K-K-T-K-K-K
@videowizdude
It's no Alex
that slur @ 2:53 😮
The sound & video do not sync... You can see when he takes a breath the the sound is still playing. Outside of that, great horn playing...
My lips muscles hurt from watching this
horn pieces like this don't really capture the nature of the horn to me but nice horn playing i wish there could've been better recording equipment back then
Chuck Norris called. He'd like his chops back.
I've been playing french horn for 6 years and I'm not even close to being that good.... wow.... not fair
I'm proud to say i can play most of this piece and i'm 15 :^) It's a lot of fun!
Ну что тут сказать. Музыкант от ВСЕВЫШНЕГО плюс трудолюбие.
One thing: Lips of Steel.
This is a reply to the person saying that 5 hours a day is the maximum your chops can tolerate ..
Not True
It is up to the individual-and I can honestly tell you that practicing or performing 10 or more hours a day is second nature to a working professional hornist.
It is a matter of pacing oneself and not doing anything obviously stupid--like *noodling* or 'performing all of one's horn solos on stage during the pre concert WARM UP!
The last dumb thing-swapping out different-rimmed mouthpiec
Has he ever cracked a note in his life?
@frenchhornheroe you can only physically practice 5 hours a day with horn, or (and im not kidding) YOUR FACE WILL BREAK, IT WILL BREAK AND IT WILL HURT!!!
Not sure the synchro between the fingerings, breathing , etc are accurate
omg...it's god!
how can he play in harmony? two notes at the same time? how is that?
He's singing and perhaps using both upper and lower lip at different frequenzy
No se si me entederas XD pero se hace dando la nota en el corno en este casi digamos F# con tu garganta mientras tocas tienes que buscar la nota para hacer los sonidos multifonicos no se si me entendi XD
It is little skimpy, I'm sure he worked the concerto for 2 years to establish the technical level to do well before the camera than he would have played six months later, everything was gone . Fortunately he has a little progress Because he would not have done it.
Why is the horn still sounding in the multiphonics when he can be clearly seen taking a breath. No tpossible. Skulduggery?
Don't you see the whole soundtrack is off to video?
