The horn doesn't get much better than the Principal Horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, Stefan Dohr.

Here is a clip of him performing Strauss' Horn Concerto No. 1 live with the Okayama Symphony Orchestra with Hansjörg Schellenberger conducting.

What phenomenal playing and artistry.

Enjoy!

Stefan Dohr is the Principal Horn for the Berlin Philharmonic and is considered one of the great players in the world for good reason.

Here is a short clip of him playing the famous horn solo from Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 with the Berlin Philharmonic under the direction of Claudio Abbado.

Stunningly beautiful.

Enjoy!

What can you say about this guy? Stefan Dohr is on everyone's short list for best horn player in the world. Like, everyone's list. And seeing as how he's not even 50 yet, he has a long career ahead of him. Dohr is the principal horn of the Berlin Philharmonic and teaches at the Herbert von Karajan Academy. He is a special talent to say the least.

This video is of him playing one of the most famous horn solos in the orchestral repertoire, from the 2nd movement of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, sure makes this excerpt sound easy. The best players in the world give the rest of us the feeling of "Hey! That doesn't seem that hard. I bet I could do it."

If only it were that easy. Get ready for some effortless and spectacular phrasing.

Enjoy!
