My Favorite Horn Recording


A couple days ago I was asked what my favorite horn recording was. This was easy to answer. I still remember buying the record as an undergrad about 1981 at Musicland in a mall in Topeka, KS. The recording is Original Instruments Horn by Hermann Baumann, a Telefunken LP.

Partially it is just great playing but also the combination of great playing and on period instruments certainly fueled my interests in horn playing and in horn history. The playing on those Bach arias, especially the first one, is just amazing. If you have never heard this recording, try to track it down, it is really worth the effort.
