Hello Steve, these are natural horns with the D-crook. Some of the horns have a tuning slide built in. You can hear, that the big bunch of horns (3 parts, but multiplied) covers all the cracks & clams graciously with a "coat of mercy", as some soft trombone chords will do for the strings so often.
The performance is quite nice, but lacks the "real bite". Nothing is "festive". One can fall to sleep easily. It is the conductor. Just watch him. Nothing broad & baroque large. But with good intentions. Still enjoyable. =========================================================================================================== -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Steve Freides Gesendet: Dienstag, 19.
