Crusell's composing style is shared by my all-time favorite composer, Louis-Francois Dauprat. Unfortunately, Dauprat's concertos and more mature works are woefully unrecorded, with only his horn duos/trios/quartets/sextets and just a few piano/harp and horn pieces. The only concerto recording I've found is his No.1 with Zbignew Zuk as the soloist (CD is called "Horn Obsession"), who also did a fantastic rendition of his quintets (horn/string quartet) No.1 and 3. As good of a job as Zuk does, he makes some unchallenged liberties with the music and plays more mechanically on the concerto rather than taking the opportunity to milk it for its uniqueness to the horn repertoire. All that being said, after Rosetti and Mozart there's a wide gap of unplayed French style solo works for horn, so the best one can do to enjoy them besides plugging the scores into Finale (which I spent many hours doing in college) is to listen to his contemporaries who treated their soloists in the same way. Crusell is conspicuously just that flavor. Thank you.
It's so sad - I could live to be a thousand and barely scratch the surface of all the great music out there. So glad I discovered this channel.

Does not sound as Libra, though ...
