Mahler's 4th Symphony, Horn solo

[whatever7x7]

Doggy Style... oh yeah :-P(-:

[goldenconverse]

IM IN LOVE WITH HER! for me its the best version of this solo!!

[zaftra]

That last trill is a mouth trill.

[bag53185]

@jwkluen: I think you're confusing Kruspe and Knopf. When people talk about Kruspe wrap horns they usually mean a horn with the change valve before the other three, like a Conn 8D. Knopf on the other hand has a more open wrap with the change valve after the third. The horn shown here is definitely a Geyer/Knopf wrap.

[Littlebocco]

ok im a bassoon player and i have to say thaat the bocal of the bassoon thats shown is really weird

[thegoatlover15]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[satnikigor]

Is she old now? does she still play? where is she?

[satnikigor]

I have fallen in love.

[vladibrass]

all well, but what horn does she play?

[jwkluen]

@vladibrass: Julia Studebaker used to play a very old Geyer (Kruspe modell) and a Lewis horn. Most of the time I saw her play the Lewis. In the last few years of her career at the RCO she was persuaded to play a Yamaha triple, but that didn't suit her at all...

[archersinner]

@jwkluen How can it be a geyer when it's kruspe and vice versa??

[jwkluen]

@archersinner these horns by Geyer were built with the layout and design of Kruspe horns. So: brand/make=Geyer, model=Kruspe.

[COPEWA1]

I will be seeing Sarah in January......I will ask her!

[GermanoDeppe]

However, looks a lot like her.

[GermanoDeppe]

This is not Sarah Willis. Look at her horn. Sarah plays an Alexander 103.

[shib340]

what a monster

[mlark4]

Clip too short! Her attack is great. I'd like to hear the whole performance. I have 5 or 6 recordings of Mahler 4. You can often discover new things.

[noirvalentin]

She looks more like Sarah Willis....I'm confused.

[gitrrdone]

trolls. trolls everywhere.

[marieantionette]

gulp...sounds good...my new idol i must look her up.

[jwkluen]

Okay, listen up: again, this NOT Sharon St.Onge and she is also NOT Sarah Willis. This IS Julia Studebaker! Sharon St.Onge was - and still is - low horn with the RCO. Sarah Willis is also a low hornplayer, but then with the Berliner. This amazing excerpt was taken from the NOS christmas broadcasts of Haitink with the RCO. This one dates back from December the 25th 1982, when Julia Studebaker was first chair.

BTW, the people that are demoting comments should get their facts straight.

[shib340]

@jwkluen I think Sarah Willis would be a toddler at the time of this recording haha

[isis347]

@jwkluen was she the 1st hornplayer before Jacob Slagter went there?

[jwkluen]

@isis347 Yes, she was, but she was not Jacob Slagter's predecessor. In fact she succeed first hornplayer Jan Bos in 1974. Jacob Slagter joined at the beginning of the eighties as a tutti-player, but went on to succeed first hornplayer Adriaan van Woudenberg after his retirement in 1985. From then on they both shared first chair for almost two decades. Both of them are not with the KCO anymore.

[ManIhTwoLinJay]

@jwkluen I don't blame the people that mistaken her for Sarah Willis tho! I did my self until I read the description.

[COPEWA9009]

Dear Proimz,....at least have a look at Sarahs videos on youtube !...that will be enough to convince yourself....Iam!

[PROIMZ]

@COPEWA9009

AHAHAHAA SERIOUSLY? TAKE A LOOK AT AGAIN. sarah willis= LOW HORN PLAYER

[COPEWA9009]

That should be spelt SARAH WILLIS.

Check her out here in youtube.She plays with the Berlin Philharmonika Orchestra.

[COPEWA9009]

THE HORN PLAYER IS SARAH WILIS .

[PROIMZ]

@COPEWA9009

no way..

[gerbenblokker]

Julia Studebaker and Jacob Slagter chaired the solo chair for all this time.

[gerbenblokker]

This is Julia Studebaker, the solo hornist from the Concertgebouworchestra for almost 25 years. I have seen her join the orchestra and met her . Sharon St. Onge is still on the orchestra but she is a tutti player.

[MaartenSmit]

I think it's Sharon St. Onge too. I've never heard about Julia Studebaker anyway.

[gudufrufru]

She rocks :)

[AZStude08]

Trust me, I know that it is Julia Studebaker.

[glovert2]

she's my new hero....

[Golder1041]

what movement is this?

[andrevdbc]

the first

[constructioneer]

the hand in the bell is so the horn dont straight'n out.... omg what a power!...

[magadramaqueen]

The hand in the bell was originally how the horn was played, when there were no valves. The hand position helps tune the instrument, the farther in, it goes flat. The farther out, it's sharp. The way it is turned, can also affect the sound.

I love this solo. It's amazing =]]]

[cornophile91]

You're right, but my teacher said it also helps with keeping up the pressure in the horn so the sound waves can speak on high notes when the harmonics break the horn into so many pieces. I tried and it really works.

[magadramaqueen]

he has a poin there oh and the french horn geek useing my account is my best friend i be a meassly clranet but hey i know some
