    One of the best examples of this ever. When in high school in the 1960's I listened to the Dennis Brain version so many times I wore out the record. So that tends to be my point of reference. Sarah Willis is displaying a similar "lightness", almost playfulness, in style here. Not trying to play over the other instruments, but with them. So many others play it in a heavy handed manner. That was also a pretty amazing arrangement for just three instruments where it sounded like there were twice that many. I already know that Sarah Willis is a horn player to pay attention to. This just underscores that.

    • @Verschlungen
      @Verschlungen 2 года назад +8

      Yes. 1960s, Dennis Brain -- my point of reference too (1956 to be exact)! And yes, Willis does share in his lightness.
      Saying it another way, she is one of the very few who manage to play the horn with a "tee-tee-tee" effect instead of the "twAH-twAH-twAH" that so many -- even several of today's best-known soloists --- seem to think is the "normal" horn sound.

    The French Horn is such a beautiful instrument that I miss playing dearly. I was very good in high school and quickly moving toward playing horn as a career. Unfortunately, the top band required marching during football season and I was no good at that and did not excel. One day after marching, a fellow horn player pulled a knife on me and threatened me to march better. I quit band that day and feel like my future and passion was ripped out of my soul. I haven't touched a French Horn since, but I do hope to play again one day...now that I am 30 years passed that asault. This is beautiful music that I wish I could have been a part of.

    Utterly brilliant. Mozart is my favourite classical composer, and the Rondo is my all-time preferred listening choice. I was captivated by the delightful playing, especially the elegant, effortless, total mastery of the horn! What a pleasure. Of course, after listening to the piece, I immediately revisited the Flanders and Swann vocal version (I think entitled "An Ill Wind", if my memory serves me correctly). The Rondo, tempo-wise, is so similar to 6/8 jig-time, as exemplified by thousands of traditional Irish dance tunes, which (as a dedicated folk musician) particularly endears the Mozart piece to me.
