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!
I stumbled onto this video which is not in English and doesn't list the players or what they are playing but it features a number of members of Mnozil Brass, Gábor Tarkövi (Principal Trumpet - Berlin Philharmonic), and many others!
It is a long video with some of the finest brass playing you will ever hear. It opens with a performance of Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" that will blow you away.
Enjoy!
This is a live performance of Carl Nielsen's Wind Quintet, Opus 43, played by the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet. This was performed on October 5, 2012 at the Samobor Music Festival in Croatia. The Performers:
Michael Hasel, Flute Andreas Wittmann, Oboe Walter Seyfarth, Clarinet Fergus McWilliam, Horn Marion Reinhard, Bassoon
The Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet is everything I look for in a chamber ensemble. Each member is playing every note like a soloist and yet the most important line or lines are always stepping to the foreground.
I instantly fell in love with the music of Carl Nielsen when I performed his Fifth Symphony at Tanglewood as a high school student. He was a brilliant composer and his Wind Quintet is simply fantastic.
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!
