@choykisk

You obviously don't speak any French. Neither do I, but I know enough to know that 'la chasse' actually means 'the hunt', though any English speaker could tell you that. As a hunting instrument, the horn was used all over Europe.

If you notice, only the English speakers ever call the horn 'French'. Cor, Corno, Waldhorn etc. The bad terminology... Well thanks @trekid54409 for explaining.

The modern instrument is more German than anything else.

Excellent interpretation of one of the greatest horn works.

Not so much "almost effortless", more, effortless.

Beautiful playing from one of the greatest of instrumentalists.

[haiducser]

AWESOME

[trekid54409]

actually its not a "French horn." its a horn. most people call it a French horn because in England there were almost no good horn players, or good horns. so they had to hire hornists from France. so the musicians would refer to them as the French hornists. and the name just stuck

[Lorenzo8D]

Oh pleez! Tell people you play "horn", and half of them will think you play something else, possibly a saxophone.

[cheekychoppyoppy]

lol! thats true.. haha!

[K0S0s]

Oh I see. (I always wondered about this.) In Swedish we call it "valthorn". "Valt" is of course from the German "Wald" which means "wood"! (quite romantic.)

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

@trekid54409 did you know, it was invented in Germany?

Nothin french about the actual instrument itself, just the musicians.

[choykisk]

@trekid54409

Actually it was called French Horn because it's descended from the French "trompe de chasse".......French Horn.

[CronoARG95]

[poolplyrg]

It's a french horn.

[mcnophie]

his horn playing looks almost effortless.

[marftrogdor]

I believe that's the strangest horn I've ever seen.

[bordaz1]

i believe that may be the best horn playing i've ever heard

[riselef]

Thanks for putting this on. It was enjoyable. I believe there is a section of this video with Sir Malcolm Satgent explaining the various parts of the orchestra.
