  • An Angel recording of the two Strauss Concertos in 1958 when I was in seventh grade in Drummond, Mt..raised on a cattle ranch..changed my life. In 1964..as with another comment here, I received a full college horn scholarship..met my wife at the 1968 MENC convention in Seattle..where she was a violinist.  Who woulda thunk? No..I didn't pursue my horn..but raised 7 kids back on the ranch..prominent in the beef processing business here and overseas. This great man..changed my life.

  • @jljnbj Exactly my thoughts when I first heard Baborak playing this piece.

  • Way back in 1964 I went to the All State orchestra camp at Interlochen Music Camp and for the audition played the first movement of this concerto. It got me first chair out of the 16 horn players there. I would have loved to have been a professional horn player but just didn't have enough talent, esp. after a cut lip and broken tooth playing football later that year from which I never really recovered, embouchure-wise. Dennis Brain was my hero when I was a kid.

  • Listen to recordings by Radek Baborak. Sometimes I think Dennis Brain has come back from the dead...

  • the band director at my gigh school said i sound like Dennis Brain!! im in the 8 th grade though.....

  • @josefedward couldn't have been 1958 since he died September 1957 :)

  • Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that Dennis Brain pretty much kicks everyone else's butts.

  • I wish I'd been alive to hear him in the flesh. I think that Alessio Allegrini is the only living player who could do justice to this marvellous concerto in the way that Dennis Brain did.

  • To me Brain had the perfect tone for horn. The French Horn is a lady and he sure gave her respect. Perfection.
