In the Raw, French Hunting Horns

PUBLISHED: August 14, 2009, Bruce Hembd

Show and tell. This video of traditional French hunting horn champions captures a unique style that for the uninitiated, can be quite a shock to listen to.

My Favorite Horn Recording

PUBLISHED: February 28, 2007, John Ericson
