Re: [Hornlist] Le Chasseur Maudit
Hi Rick, There are two good US recordings; the immortal Charles Munch with the Boston on RCA (I cannot give you the number as my copy is Japanese bought in Germany); more recently, Muti and the Philadelphia on EMI Classics Red Line 7243 5 73235 2 9 - how about that for an incomprehensible number? And my favourite, on Supraphon 11 0613 - 2011, The Czech Phil under Jean Fournet. The problem in this piece is an acoustic one. Its OK for 1st 3rd but 2nd and particularly 4th have answering phrases at a lower pitch, below the stave, which must sound as loud. See Farkas on how to develop the sound in the nether regions!

Re: [Hornlist] Le Chasseur Maudit
CSO made a great recording - 78s - under Desiree Defauw (?) I believe. Maybe it was transferred to CD by someone.

Re: [Hornlist] Le Chasseur Maudit
This is an introspective musical piece with four very important horn parts. It open with the horns playing horn calls and echos. Later is some wery effective unison horn calls. Chambers Orchestral excerpts Volume III has all of the important parts. The Allegro Vivace section which is in the gallop (dotted eighth, sixteenth,sighth rhythm) can be daunting due to its endurance. A great piece. Played it many times.

Re: [Hornlist] Le Chasseur Maudit
And, the intonation within the section needs to be right on the money - completely exposed unison playing. In a way some of the mood reminds me of the earl king (Schubert). This ominous relentless quality. The damned or cursed huntsman I recall as the translation.
