Owen is simply amazing! Great sound, extended range, articulation that leaves no question and melodic expression that brings any peice alive with emotion.
my music teacher taught him!! he was like, look up owen farr, used to be a student of mine. best tenor horn in the world. I play french horn, that blew my mind.
I own an alto horn (Yes, I'm American). I think it would be my favorite horn to play, but opportunities to play it are rare (I live in a small city that lacks a brass band), so I stick with the euphonium.
WHAT THE WHAT!!! This piece just blew my brains out!!! :D Familiar piece defamiliarized completely!!! Last time I felt this way was with Beethoven's Piano Concerto no.6 in D Op 61a!!! So much awesome!!! :D
@cornel999 - it is indeed amazing playing (that piece would go lovely on the violin - I wonder if any one has ever tried that?) the "Tenor" horn as we call it in UK is actually an Eb alto "saxhorn" designed by guess who - Mr Sax himself - Adolphe Sax...
@TheMelloFan Actually, both the Eb soprano and the Bb cornet act as the soprano voices. You wouldn't normally have just one instrument carrying a whole soprano part for the whole piece in a full Brass Band. Then the Alto/Tenor Horns act as the alto voicing. Tenor voices are normally produced through tenor trombones and baritones. The Euphoniums switch around a lot through tenor and bass and counter melodies and more. Eb/Bb basses plus Bass trombone = bass parts. Flugel, oh Im out of characters.
i have to admit my ignorance, i've never seen that instrument before. is that closer to a French horn or a fluglehorn? either way, that's pretty cool tooting, coming from a violinist.
As much as I like to listen to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass, Al Hirt, and trumpet in general, I can't believe how nice and mellow this alto horn is. I guess someone could practice all day and their ears wouldn't tire from the nice sounds. I never heard of an alto horn before yesterday. What an instrument!
I started my musical hobby when I was 9 years old, started on a tenor horn like the one Owen played so well. Was never as near as good as him I switched to cornet
Son of a *&^%$ and a flying pass at Santa Claus! My hornplayer father used to play me a tape of his band buddy Keig Garvin (US Army Band 1960's-70s) playing a Weber Concertino originally written for clarinet. I thought nothing could top that. Until this. Not that many violinists can keep up this pace.

Yes - and Owen Farr is right up there, the best. I am daunted and inspired at the same time.
