Althea Talbot-Howard: Elliott Carter ~ Pastoral for Cor Anglais (English Horn) and Piano

[oboist101]

Your playing is so pretty. I love your tone!

Only two things i hate about cor anglais:

1.) the clicky keys are so annoying and this video is a good represenntation of it. (not the only thing i'm just pointing that part out)

2.) when the pops off the bocal. That actually happened to me one time during rehearsal. I had a long solo and my reed popped off so all you could was the crow and the keys clicking. It was funny.

Very inspirational! I've been researching the repertoire so I can get more comfortable playing EH. Thanks for putting this up on youtube. I really enjoyed hearing you and am very thankful to have heard this piece.  Early Carter IS fun!

What a treat. Gorgeous tone and so consistent. It makes me realise I need more cor anglais in my life.

Thank you very much for your kind remarks. Actually, my cor anglais is a Loree!

Best wishes,

Althea

You sound beautiful. AMAZING. Are you playing on a Marigaux?

PRECIOSO. Muy bonito, es una combinación para mí insólita. A ver si venís a mi pueblo Priego de Córdoba en España. He visto también tu vídeo del oboe d'amore y es chulísimo. Gracias
