The first time I heard this piece, I thought about how perfect Radek Baborak and his playing style would be for this piece. He pulls this off even better than Baumann. Baumann stomps all over the beginning of this movement with swagger and heaviness. I'm so glad I found at least part of a recording of him playing this.
@GustavUppercut It sounds difficult to me at least in terms of range and phrasing, and especially so to maintain such a fantastic tone throughout. But I've never read the Gliere concerto myself, and, as with all BPO musicians, Baborak makes it look easy.
@GustavUppercut i think its one of the hardest pieces for horn, maybe not this movement (3.), but the 1. movement (also the longest concerto for horn, 24 minutes)
AHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH THERE WAS NO VIDEO OF THIS BEFORE!!!!!!

He plays with such seeming ease, it's insane! He's so expressive and his range is limitless! Wonderful horn! Bravo!

Is that difficult to play on the horn? Speed- and range-wise. Just curious,
I'm a bass player myself and doesn't know a thing about the horn. :P
