Concertos pour cor Coffret

Description

After their fascinating exploration of oboe concertos (BRIL95410), the skilled pioneers of the Brillant Classics label continue their discovery of wind instruments with this beautiful box set dedicated to horn concertos. An instrument with several centuries of history, the horn gets its name from the animal horns originally used by humans as signals or during rituals. Over the ages, numerous technical improvements have contributed to the development of an instrument whose festive and jubilant character now holds a prominent place, both as a soloist and within the orchestra. From Telemann to Haydn, from Vivaldi to Mozart, the major concertante works for the instrument are gathered here, but the 10 discs that make up this edition are also filled with treasures, often unknown. Impeccable performers among today's great horn players, from the reference Peter Damm to the new generation represented by Felix Klieser, vigorously and precisely champion a solid repertoire that will be significant in the instrument's discography.
