I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French horn in a second-hand shop,
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop

In spite of the poor recording equipment, this was a super effort and I'm grateful that someone is keeping the spirits of Flanders and Swann, (and Borge and Lehrer while they are at it) alive. Brava to the pianist and soloist!
-
A little weak on the cadenza (though Flanders had years to polish his) I wonder if the singer had more planned for it but got cold feet.
-
only the lyrics
-
Flanders & Swann wrote this.

Very nice, i know this horn concerto, i never heard any lyrics to it..
-
It's Michael Flanders' words sung to a slightly cut version, with cadenza, of the rondo finale of Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4 in E flat major, K. 495.
-
I mean, so who exactly wrote the words? Flanders and Swann? Kirsten? Mozart?
-
it's flanders and swann! not home-made! what an insult!
-
I have the same whim!
Someone (a real violinist virtuoso) even told me that the violin wasn't meant to be a singing instrument, but the French horn IS.
This surprised me about the violin, but it made me listen more carefully to french horn playing sound!



Great fun...many thanks. Possibly make reference to Flanders and Swann in the title so people know what they're getting into?
