Hermann Baumann plays the Weber Concertino: I. I.Adagio - Andante II. Andante con moto - Adagio III. Placca - Hudba
Bravo maestro! Always a joy to listen. Am still playing your encore piece, "Im Tiefsten Walde." Addio, JC 📯
Rest in peace. His horn playing was phenomenal and this is the best recording of the Weber Concertino!
Anyone who has the courage to commit their version to a commercial recording is an absolute hero/heroine as far as I am concerned. I have 3 recordings - Baumann (but not this one), Tuckwell and Halstead - I love them all. I sound just like them all - in the bars' rests!
Maesttro Baumann, an interpreter who will always be a great reference in the horn. Genius.

Rest in Peace dear professor. Thanks for your music
The low registers at the end of 2nd mov are incredible!
So schön und leicht klingt seine Art des Hornspielens!Bravo und Ruhe in Frieden!!
I got to hear him play the Weber live in recital back in the 1970s.
The big hero of my childhood-I heard Baumann day and night and with him I started a big love with the horn;-)
the singing horn player
By "singing" you mean literally singing while playing? I hear what sounds like his vocalizing a harmony with his playing around 7:40 plus and minus. Sure sounds like it. Kind of funny to hear in a recording like he's sort of fooling around.
it's a part of the piece! weber wrote vocal harmony for the player to sing while playing in the horn part.
Oh... First time I ever heard of such a thing. As a teen, I used to play around with vocalizing harmony (badly) 50+ years ago with my cornet... didn't know such tricks were ever performed in a serious piece till now.
lol all you people hating on Baumann are still just reeling from the fact that he started when he was 19 and you guys that have been playing since you were 10, 11, and 12 years old are still not even close... the guy is truly a cut above the rest of us...
He started at 17
Bazinga!
Anyway, I agree with Rawhide. This man deserves a special place in the history of the horn
I started at 3
Being an amateur hornist myself I must say this is a magnificent and wonderful performance both of orchestra and conductor but especially the hornplayer!!What a soft and mellow tone! Bravo bravissimo! 🙏🏻
Rest in peace maestro!
Weber writes brilliantly - Baumann plays beautifully and shows real personality in this interpretation - he is of course technically amazing. A thoroughly enjoyable and deep recording. I'm almost speechless!
I was privileged to attend a master class with Herr Baumann and he stressed over and over again that any musician was there to pay homage to the music. MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC! Practice? Of course but less stress on you as the performer and on what kind of horn you have and what bells and whistles it has.

In this performance he's formidable! Magnific sound! Baumann's Show!
Wonderfull playing. Very musical. I never heard even from the best hornist.
I played with him 1980. It was a fantastic time.
I spent six months as a Baumann student in 1976. I also started late (19) but never achieved a decent embouchure and setup. In six months Hermann could not really do much for me but it was great to have the experience. He and Hella were great company over a few glasses of vino.
Baumann makes this beast of a composition sound elegant. Perfetto.
I know baumann petsonaly and had the honor to play his horn
Great recording :)
Amazing and great clear voices, Bravo!
Beautifully written Beautifully performed
BEAUTIFUL PLAYING!
the best Horn player ever, for me!
just amazing!!!
fantastico! perfetto!!!!
Singing Weber!!
Baumann The singer hornplayer.
excelente!
I enjoyed Baumann's performance; he had a remarkable influence on the orchestra and conducted it with a profound understanding.
아주 인상적 연주, 깊은 감동, 영혼의 울림. very impressive, moved and cleaning my soul.
das Mass aller Dinge im Hornspielen
Wunderschön!
My French horn inspiration for today!!!!
Le meilleur!
Hermannilla oli hieno viikon vierailu Tampereella 80-luvulla. Mukavat jääkiekko pelit ja Tiiliholvi-illat. Lopuksi solistina Strauss 2 konsertto
Il migliore cornista del mondo
Ausgezeichnet!
How can you play so good
el mejor del universo
He's a great musician first. There are several major professional horn players who asked for his musical coaching more so than the horn technique. His Mozart hand horn performances are arguably the best. It would have been great to hear him play this monster on hand horn as well.
Baumann made the best performances of Weber and Gliere .
Idk about gliere but in the case of Weber absolutely
E uno dei cornisti piu' bravi al mondo
Robert pc libre
Hermann tu nous manques . . . il n'est pas mort que je sache . . .
Baborak is a very technical hornist, but I prefer Baumann for his phrasing and interpretation.
mito assoluto
Imagine if Denis Brain played this :O
:v
Yes Charles, l can't imagine what Denis Brain would have made of this work. However l DO know that he never played the Konzertstuck for 4 horns. Apparently, he said that he would not base his reputation on high notes. So it is possible that he simply didn't like 'show pieces' for horn, of which the Weber is one.
Denis is my favourite hornist of all time. He never overplayed or over-interpretted , yet his playing was virtually perfect and ethereal. Oh yes, and he tounged everything - never slurred!
Having said all that, Bauman's playing is unbelievably good, and he's 'up there' with the best of them. Personally l prefer Halstead's hand-horn performance, mainly because he makes an 'English' sound'. I never attempted this work.
Richard Duckett of Team Brass
Baumann is a master! I absolutely love this piece as well, and it's probably my fav horn piece of all time, but listening to it now, I totally forgot how stupid that high C sounds at 4:54. Baumann manages to make it sound more natural that most would be able to, but it's still such a ridiculous and out-of-place-sounding flourish in my ears. Last movement is still flawless in writing and execution, though.
Don’t forget the d sharp at the end he nails
It is very, very difficult. I am about to finish my horn studies at a german concervatory soon and I wouldn't yet dare to play this piece.
notre maitre à tous
Baborak and he are the best :)

And Barry Tuckwell!
Das dürfte die Aufnahme bei Philips Classics von 1984 sein. Es gibt noch eine ältere Aufnahme von ihm mit diesem Stück bei MPS aus dem Jahr 1970. Die Aufnahme von 1970 ist "jugendlicher und frecher" - vor allem beim e6 im FORTE!!!
Hermann Baumann wäre mit Sicherheit CM v. Webers Favorit als Hornist gewesen, so wie es sein Zeitgenosse Heinrich Joseph Baermann als Klarinettist war
Geblasen auf H-Horn von Engelbert Schmid, also in Es-Griffweise. Intelligent!
Fantastic playing!!! Does anyone know if it is played on a 103 horn? When I was at the factory, the manager told me that Baumann used the 103 model horn for over 20 years.
For a good horn player It's a pretty hard--you have to account all the phrases,the expression that the soloist (he/she will put into the piece),and make sure that you are playing with a crisp sound and keeping the notes(and articulation) true to the piece.
I can do III.Placa
how
Je préfère cette version à celle de Baborak. Mais faut quand même savoir que Baborak n'avait que 14 ans quand il a joué cette oeuvre !! Je les admire tous les deux...
i dont play horn, but exactly how hard is this piece? I looked up the sheet music and it very demanding coming from a clarinet play like my self
Exetremely difficult
One of the hardes
tu connais pas Barboteu? il était pas aussi bon que Baumann je pense, mais c'était un sacré corniste, il a d'ailleurs écrit plusieurs pièces pas mal pour cor, et a enseigné au CNSM pendant un paquet d'années
Are all the trills lip trills? 1:22 11:37
first no second yes
@@somebody9033Thanks. The second one (two) are really impressive if he really lipped them
0:20, 3:15, 4:35, 8:00
III.Placca is very weird to play in some spots
Rugilockk
Style français?
:o
HOW THE HECK DO YOU DO 3 - 4 PART HARMONY!? I can only do 2!!!!
Of course, you sing into the horn. But most important is the TAMBRE of your voice,,, not all of us can pull it off. Compare Baumann and Barborak... even the harmonics come out differently...LOL ! When I was playing professionally in Europe, I practiced this piece incessantly for about 6 months, but would never try to perform it...Hah ! Bravo !
@@apfelsnutz Haha, this was from seven years ago, I had completely forgotten about it. I actually figured out how to do harmony on the horn since then, but the middle b part at the end of the cadenza is quite challenging - though I haven't yet practiced it truly. How did the piece feel after 6 months? Any better? Also, for all those that wonder how to do polyphonic - play a note (low usually) and while the air is sustaining the note, hum (the other 'harmonies' are there by nature of like-vibrations when the right note is hummed on top of the pedal note - it's a phenomenon one can hear on a piano if one plays a low open 5th chord, listen for the major 3rd softly vibrating in a higher octave.)
@@webusch3 Oh, I was looking for something to play with the orchestra. Decided instead, to play the Stich Concerto #5... came off really well. Thanks for the reply... Ron
I prefer Baborak but this one is greatly played too

Yeah, a concertino with my last name is bound to sound grand 🙃😏
I prefer Baumann
but i prefer him
かか
Più che Polacca (notoriamente in tempo moderato su cui si marciava - più che danzava - in 3/4!) a me sembra veloce come un Minuetto. Lo fa per ostentare virtuosismo? Ci sarebbe da dire riguardo i Multiphonics ma aspetto una verifica del problema dal punto di vista fisico-matematico prima di espormi, spero in un passo avanti rispetto all'articolo scientifico apparso nel 1925.
Veramente è un tempo normalissimo per una polacca... seconda cosa, la cadenza coi "multiphonics" come li chiami tu è presente già nel manoscritto olografo di Weber.
Incredibly. You'd most likely hear this from a good college player or a very brave high schooler.
28 thumbs down? They have to be drug addicts
For anyone interested in a more refined sound, Mr. Stainbrook has a wonderful version on the JHorn czcams.com/video/r5AQKgdzd3Q/video.html
Tbh, he's good, but his tone when he plays fast with articulation is pretty awful. It's so brassy, unclean and unclear. In my opinion, Radek Baborak is much better because he always makes a good sound and never has a nasty edge to his articulated notes.
+Joseph Longstaff Well, Weber is the first exponent of demoniac romanticism. His fast articulations and his tone expression aren't made to be eroic, they have to be scary. For me, this interpretation is maybe the best we can find on youtube!
+A.F. Galopp Scary is not exactly the word that comes to mind when I hear this jaunty E major concertino.
+Joseph Longstaff thank god nobody pays you for that opinion
+Joseph Longstaff I can hear what you're talking about, but honestly, the expression is what I care about, and he has that in spades. There are other ways to appreciate music than strict classical formalism...
Honestly it's that kind of thinking that ruins the art form. I think his use of the edgy tone on the horn is literally perfect for an intense trotting melody.
N´importe quoi... pff... who the fuck is Barboteu ?!
Baumann is completely overrated. my primary school horn teacher played it once but it was way clearer and better than this guy! #mongrelsound
Pedro Luis Giménez Actually, it would be pretty amazing if Baborak was his teacher.
Peter Kiss doesn't that make his teacher a teenager? :|
C K.M. Of course not, he's probably hitting forty around this time. There's just a lot of videos of him playing as a teenager, because he is incredible.
haha, no.. I was talking about his Reily's mentor! If baborak is his teacher, then Reily's mentor must've been a teenager
OK. Thanks for clearing that up!
