BaL 16.05.15 - Mozart: Horn Concertos

[richardfinegold]

Why does it all have to be so black and white?
Why do we have to be forced to choose ONLY ONE 'winner'?

I have suggested the following several times, in fact so many times that I'm now a bit fed up with it:
1) A 'modern/ valve horn' recording that " moves us and makes us happy"
2) A 'period-instrument' / valveless horn recording that "moves us and make us happy" !!!!

Suggestions as follows:
1) Brain
2) Eastop

Q.E.D.

Excellent. They are very different approaches and each has it's merits. I think everyone can agree on that

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Not because I prefer something else but because "it moves me and makes me happy" is a bit superficial and unsupported

On the contrary, it's more real than anything. But I agree - honesty of that kind wouldn't help with a music degree, where a detailed analytical knowledge of The Emperor's New Clothes is an essential requirement.

I suppose that his Old Clothes were new once, Alpie...

ENC gets you a fail for plagiarism IMV

You seem to be having an 'existential crisis' or are you simply a figment of my imagination?

But where are Oren and Arkady?

Fighting talk - not even the most zealous Hippites on here have suggested that it is not in the front rank yet . As for opinions being presented as facts that appears to be pretty much the name of the whole of the forum.,
