Es una lástima la calidad tan horrible!...No he visto a Urey en muchos años!!! Soy ex integrante de la orquesta ;)!! Mis mejores deseos para ti y Urey!
and im playing it for my auditions as well lol. i play euphonium but try to mimic the horn sound and sound sound of horn on euphonium is just amazing.
as a horn player (screenname can be misleading) i am playing this concerto for an audition and it is very difficult and i give major props to whoever played that solo...
Give the soloist credit for taking the piece at the fast tempo. Tip to horn players-- the entire concerto can be played lightly and clearly on the Bb side of the horn. Yes, hold the trigger down all the way!
Agree. With practice and attention to tone, the Bb side can sound pleasant. Consider that many professional horn players in Europe play on single Bb horns.
As a fellow Horn Player This was Very well done I can only think of one part that was a little rough but still that was a very good job this is a tough peace.

AT LEAST HES NOT PLAYING THE THIRD CONCERTO!!!! I HATE THAT ONE!!! and btw hes rele good so stop hating its almost like ur dissing mozart. thats just TERRIBLE!! mozarts one of the greatest composers EVER!! so all of you guys can shut upppp. i can tel some of the prob is the hand position. open ur hand more to get not only a better tone but its easier 2play the notes. also, tongue harder at the begining of slurs and the other notes will come out way easier :)
To all you guys who are hating on this guy I love to see your recording of this piece. At least he has someone who believes he can be something. You don't just ask to be a soloist you get picked. So shut up.
thank you! I appreciate your comment... I would hope all the viewers would stay attached only to what they hear and not to criticize in a bad and poisonous way! thank you again
This was the first one I learned. Actually the 2nd easiest of the mozart concertos. Intonation is very bad, so are clarity of articularions. Trills are clean though.I had no problems with finger combinations. Strauss is much harder.

What.are.you.guys.TALKING ABOUT?? ive never even seen a real horn so all your talk about semi-quavers,articulations and 2-3 combinations is grek n latin :)
Yes... The particular Strauss you happen to be studying is harder. Let me ask you this : Does Mozart suck? What would you do if you were a composer? Strauss and Mozart were just like you. They played lousy old composer garbage they hated to hear (let alone play) and decided to play something new and different and original. Make something new . Play your instrument! See what happens..Your opinion is your opinion and it's correct.%$#@ what anyone else says!
im 13 and currently doin my grade 7 horn, the thing with this concerto is that if you dont get the articulation right it sounds sloppy and lazy, also sound quality on vid isnt very good. i agree with dcmr, strauss is harder.
Im sorry but im a french horn player and this was the first concerto O learned upon becoming advanced. I think he has a good tone quality but he is extremely sloppy in parts and lacks the correct articulations. The finger combinations arent THAT hard. The strauss is much harder.
I am comparing it to the other horn concertos Mozart created. This is by far not the most challenging by any means, but the finerings are a little more on the awkward side when compared to the 2nd and third. just a lot more play with the Thumb 2-3 combonation
This concerto is actually a little more technical on the modern horn.. I cant see his hand to know if he is doing lip trills or not, if he is the are very good. lol for those that are saying this is not a technical concerto try it The wasy is was originally played, Natural horn... then say its not technical. :-) yes I have played it both ways
To those horn players out there that think this is not hard, it isnt (even though i still heard multiple splits in this recording). The mozarts arent technically difficult, but try playing whats NOT on the page.
Also, to the conductor, have you thought about taking it a tiny bit faster and beating it in 2?
is that alfonso bustamante when he was younger cause i met both of them which the older one was my private lesson teacher when i lived in bolivia for a few onths durring the summer
If he is one of the best players of his age, then what is he doing playing Concerto #1? It's not too difficult of a piece... I'm 15 and I've played the 1st Concerto...

Are you joking? The Bb side can be played in tune in any range. The principal horn of the BBC Symphony plays on Bb single.

no no no.
sure the notes might come out a little easier, but you really don't want to sound honky.

The intonation is likely due to poor recording quality.
The dynamics could use some work. And horn player, you've probably heard this a million times, but 16th notes *must* speak.
But you do have spectacular trills
Excellent job!

and yeah
the intonation
is very very bad
but it is forgiven because it is hard to tell because of the sound quality.

What other concertos are you comparing it to when you say it isnt that easy to play?
It is also not terribly challenging played naturally, but i prefer it on a modern horn, as the semiquavers tend to sound much clearer.

who is the soloist?
walawee 5 years ago
His name is Urey David Mestra Bravo, and he is one of the best horn players at his age he is only 24 now.
I think he played with no hesitation at all, and he made an amazing job
Fuiga 5 years ago
If he is one of the best players of his age, then what is he doing playing Concerto #1? It's not too difficult of a piece... I'm 15 and I've played the 1st Concerto...
