Amazon.co.uk Review:
It's tempting to say "this is a justly legendary disc, made when the gods seemed to be smiling upon all concerned. Go and buy it". However, that would be shirking the more analytical aspects of a reviewer's duties. So why should you buy it? Mozart's horn concertos are the first great essays in the medium, and even within the four you can trace a clear development in terms of sophistication and technical difficulty. And who better to present these works than one of the undisputed greats of the instrument, Dennis Brain, whose career was so tragically cut short in a car crash when he was just 36? The coupling is the fine Quintet for piano and wind with Dennis joined by his oboist-brother, Leonard. Although these recordings were made in 1954, they have been excellently cleaned up by EMI for this release which plays heavily on their nostalgia value, with a reproduction of the original LP sleeve and black disc on the cover of the CD. The concertos became a bestseller when they were first released and in the intervening years they've lost none of their lustre. --Harriet Smith

Besides this, Brain's tone is superb - clear and rich. His phrasing throughout is well-considered, and perfectly matches the spirit of the Horn ... Read More
Rating:
- its ok - competent rendering of all time classic
dennis brain's rendition of the horn concerto's of mozart is the best ever - so on that score no problem here. for me no one else even gets a look in. other than that - nothing special
