Loved the interview. Love the VPO. Best orchestra in the world in my opinion.

Great video! Thanks & best wishes from Scottish Vienna Horns.

Love all your videos! Even if I played trombone professionally, the French horn was my first love.

[@MARJOLAINEGOULET]

Wait a lot for this video. Thank you a lot from Italy!

[@soffronitsky]

That's sweet! Thank you!

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?

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?

[@jackhousman6637]

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?

[@roy817]

What is the piece at the beginning?

[@pega17pl]

The special sound of VPO? Well, they always play 'a bisserl gschlampert' (a little bit sloopy).

[@jackhousman6637]

Are there female players in the Vienna Philharmonic? Yet?

Awfull interview. Get it together please.
