This is a magnificent Performance. Outstanding, if I may say so. I don't think I've ever heard this piece played any better than this. My dad who was a classical musician, played many instruments but never the french horn. I know he is sorry he never leard to play the french horn because he told me so on several occasions. Thanks to my dad I came to love this instrument and all classical music. Well most classical music. He is now 88 and still plays piano and organ. How nice is that. Anyways thank you so much for uploading this fantastic performance.
The horn is probably the most tricky instrument to play and that performance was incredible. The clarity of sound, the register breaks, the trills were as close to perfection as humanly possible.
Tis the moment between the last sunlight on Autumn leaf,. and the budding of of the new green tips that music exists as a hope, and the glorious moment between the unfurling of the sails and the winds they are caressed by, o'er the mountains, through the forests of new and old, charred and freshly sprouted... fields of gold, lagoons of emerald green... each note a thousand miles, each pause a night of a thousand stars, each star the rest and each sunrise the upbeat... for that which comes next. Keep moving...it's worth it.
I'm 51. I remember seeing your name some 30 years ago, so I'm finding this to be a real treat. I've only seen Barry Tuckwell, Hermann Baumann, and Jerome Ashby perform this live, each was extraordinary, and I feel the same way about yours, it was beautiful. I always felt Baumann and Ashby gave this piece the utmost respect, as opposed to Tuckwell who was quite aggressive - it certainly was not an endurance run but it was his style. I only mention this because the way you exited the cadenza at 18:25 had the same kind of power and force Tuckwell played the entire time. I appreciate your variance. In the early 90s, I had favorites, today I appreciate the diversity of styles, but I wish we had more live recordings without all the spot mics that make things sound slightly unnatural. I'm glad you kept playing, this made my day. Again, it was beautiful.
WOW, I’ve never heard a style mirror so closely and intimately with the string as this one!!! My mind is absolutely blown that musicianship of this caliber is possible. Everything is absolute perfection. So much to be said here. Absolutely incredible. SO many will try to become better musicians, but will never get there because their minds are so limited. Yours goes way beyond everybody else’s and far surpasses them. I can only think of a handful of musicals at this level. Truly wonderful, but even that phrase doesn’t do it justice. Bravo.
I've always said music and aviation go together. Music teaches the brain to work logically, and of course, you have to be a few notes ahead. Same in aviation, especially in IMC. You have to picture your instruments to form a 3D picture of your situation relative to the earth. You have to be ahead of the game, and music teaches that.
Maestro un saludo muy especial desde Colombia, inolvidable además tu capacidad de resolver conflictos que surgen a la hora de hacer la música incluyendo HORN, Abrazo.
Sono un ex cornista, già insegnante in vari conservatori italiani, tra i quali, quello di San Pietro a Majella di Napoli, quello di Avellino, di Reggio Calabria. di Potenza ed altri, autore di una storia sul Corno Op.15 e altro. .Mi piace il modo musicale di come interpetra questo difficile concerto di Haydn. Bravo . Complimenti sinceri
Wonderful performance! Where were the beautiful photos taken? The splendid rococo palace and grounds perfectly matched the light, airy classical style of Haydn's sparkling music.
Houston Symphony. Assuming it was recorded around when it was posted, seems most likely Andres Orozco-Estrada was music director, though that's certainly no guarantee he was conducting.
Spectacular! We Americans have the greatest living horn soloists in the world now! Think of the 3 best, they'll all be American.
Best recording ever of this concerto and this is even live... Incredible performance!!!

No risk, no reward. What a performance.
Thanks! Better to risk and miss than not to risk at all.
Felicidades desde Mexico!! Maravillosa interpretación!!!
haydn+HSO+VerMeulen = pure joy!

What beautiful poetic writing. I wish I could read more of your work.
I love this piece. Thank you for your beautiful performance. This concerto is performed too rarely (I believe).
It is a fantastic piece. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
That last bit in the cadenza is very funny. Thanks, Mr. V. !!
Wow. Beautiful!
信じられないほど素晴らしい
Great performance I must say, seven valves goes along way. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Это просто божественно.
Thank you!!!
Fantastic!

You’re so very kind. I appreciate your words and am happy you enjoyed it.
Everything I heard Tuckwell do was, in my opinion, too aggressive, too bombastic. Great technique, though!
1:57 The note of High E is so clear. Amazing, Incredible sound😲
Thanks so much!
onvoorstelbaar mooi en zo zwaar om uit te voeren!
Thank you!
Wunderbar!
Spectacular performance! So inspiring!

Thanks so much for your very kind words. It means a lot! Be well…

Wonderful performance! Where were the beautiful photos taken? The splendid rococo palace and grounds perfectly matched the light, airy classical style of Haydn's sparkling music.
The photos are of the Esterhazy palace where Haydn was employed and did much of composing. Thank you for your kind words.
It would be great if the description would tell which orchester is playing and who is conducting.
perfect tune, extremly clearly trills, and the capacity to make easy high note ... ARE YOU HUMAN ?
Thank you so much. Very human.
@@hornguru I was a professional horn player in Symphonic Orchestras in my 20´s but a problem with my lips broke all my carreer
18:02 what is he quoting here?? I just can't put my finger on it
It’s a quote from the Yellow Rose of Texas..😉
Which orchestra? Who's conducting?
Houston Symphony. Assuming it was recorded around when it was posted, seems most likely Andres Orozco-Estrada was music director, though that's certainly no guarantee he was conducting.
Orchestra?
I find fascinating those people defining themselves as gurus or virtuosi
I think of this phrase from Beethoven, "Since he proclaimed himself emperor, Napoleon has been nothing but an ordinary man."

Superbe interprétation le phrasé est excellent dommage pour la version Cazalet qui est un peu trop nerveux et pressé de finir ! ...
David guerrier est nettement meilleur sur cor baroque
