.. Strauss Schumann Weber |
| | Description: | Regarded as one of Europeâ??s leading horn
players, Martin Owen appears as a soloist and
chamber musician around the world. Currently
principal horn at the BBC Symphony Orchestra,
he has previously served as principal horn of the
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and as solo horn
of the Berliner Philharmoniker.
Weberâ??s Concertino was written for the old,
valveless â??natural hornâ??; its limited range of
notes (tied to the harmonic series) was extended
mechanically with additional tubing (â??crooksâ??)
and, more artfully, by virtuoso players bending
notes, and varied hand stopping. The technical
demands of the Concertino are testament to the
extraordinary facility of the hornists of the
period.
The first Horn Concerto by Richard Strauss,
written at the age of nineteen, whilst a student,
is widely considered his first uncontested
masterpiece. Although the influence of Brahms
and Schumann are evident, his own
compositional voice is unmistakable. Strauss
would continue to write significant parts for
horn in all of his orchestral scores (possibly an
influence of his father, who was a virtuoso
hornist), but the second Concerto was not
composed until 1942 â?? some sixty years later.
The style is much more neo-classical, even
â??Mozartianâ??.
Schumannâ??s riotous Concertstück for four horns
opens the programme, and features three more
outstanding soloists: Christopher Parkes
(Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Sinfonia of
London), Alec Frank-Gemmill (Gothenburg
Symphony Orchestra), and Sarah Willis (Berliner Philharmoniker). - ..
