Same here, except my first love is the Vienna Horn - the sound is so much richer harmonic spectrum - never sounds like a trombone! ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=vienna+horns+urlicht
(3:27) 1 inch = 2,54 Zentimeter = 25,5 Millimeter (Dezimalkomma) 1" = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm (decimal point) Old German unit "Zoll" is same as "inch". Abbreviation to 'Zoll' is " where inch got abbreviation from.
Thank you! I learned a lot from this. There's one slightly garbled passage in which he mentions the Chicago horns. To say that this is the kind of horn playing he isn't so keen on? -the"aggressive" type?
He meant he likes the Chicago horns, that in many ways try to produce a Vienna Horn type sound. Dale Clevenger sat behind them during a Rosenkavalier (or Salome) and was completely "blown away" by the sound, style and how fearlessly they play. Not easy to play high Strauss and Mahler parts on a straight F Horn. This will give you a better idea: ua-cam.com/video/jnFl1q0IYTA/v-deo.html
I'm just watching a concert with Stefan Vladar beautifully playing Mozart piano concerto 20. He really looks like Wolfgang. I guess they must be brothers.
From what I understand, the difference in timbre is due primarily to the smaller bore of the Viennese instrument. Could one not simply decrease the diameter of the “normal” horn to achieve better tone while retaining the agility afforded by rotary valves?
Hello, Sarah. What is meant by "low-horn player"? I understand that, at one time, composers wrote the higher parts for 1st and 3rd horns, and lower for 2nd and 4th. Is this still the case?
+Jack Housman You are welcome. Actually there are a lot of femela players now. Most of them are the violin players, like Isabelle Ballot and Alina Pinchas etc. Yes, you are right. Both harp players of the orchestra are female: Charlotte Balzereit and Anneleen Lenaerts. What's special about the new principal bassoon, Sophie Dartigalongue, is that she probably is the first female principal ever in this orchestra.
+Zheng Li Sophie Dartigalongue is the first female principal in the winds. The first female principal ever is, I believe, Albena Danailova, one of the three Concertmasters (Wiener Staatsoper since 2008/ Wiener Philharmoniker since 2011).
Not true. In fact Wolfgang Tomboeck, former first horn, was probably the most note perfect horn player of his generation. They do tend to go for it and here and there things happen, but it's worth it for the sound they create within the orchestra.
Loved this chat!! Two wonderful players from my two favorite orchestras!!!
Loved the interview. Love the VPO. Best orchestra in the world in my opinion.
Just found this when searching for Vienna horn... Absolutely fascinating.
And in general, a really great channel about horns... Thanks, Sarah!
Love all your videos! Even if I played trombone professionally, the French horn was my first love.

Great video! Thanks & best wishes from Scottish Vienna Horns.
Thanks so much Sarah for that interview :-D So interesting!!!
I much prefer the tone quality of the F horn and would love to have a Vienna horn. Very helpful interview. Thank you so much, Sarah. Xx

Brothers.

Some are more comfortable playing in the low register: low horn players
Other prefer the high register: high horn players
Are there female players in the Vienna Philharmonic? Yet?
+Jack Housman The new principal bassoon.
+Zheng Li Thank you.Can you think of any others? I think I saw an harpist in a New Year's concert, conducted by Janssons, a couple of years ago.

The special sound of VPO? Well, they always play 'a bisserl gschlampert' (a little bit sloopy).
Not true. In fact Wolfgang Tomboeck, former first horn, was probably the most note perfect horn player of his generation. They do tend to go for it and here and there things happen, but it's worth it for the sound they create within the orchestra.
Awfull interview. Get it together please.
Awful spelling of awful. Try to spell better please.
