Nuh uh! That's unbelievable. How old was he when he started playing?

[tophornmusic]

@Universlmusician He was 8...

[mountsunrise]

This is so amazing!

Baborak is definitely one of the best horn players of all times!

[44jesusfreak4]

horn pieces like this don't really capture the nature of the horn to me but nice horn playing i wish there could've been better recording equipment back then

@MultiBraceface101 ...being friend and colleague with Radek Baborák helped a lot...:)

I like the attention on technical rhythmic passages, consistent.

Player (at when recorded) Excellent breath support; as low end , pp< ff, and upper register!

Proof!

(from lessons); 'don't cheat your dotted-half, and quarter note value.

This is Phenomenal for any musician age and under 18 years!

What a career statement!

Congratulations on opportunity with Prague!

Chuck Norris called. He'd like his chops back.

@harveycor that's a Knopf double and yup, the f-side valvings are somewhat easier since CMvW is in E the 2nd valve may get a little bit of a "workout"

[OAbrey]

Clearly, I know nothing. But tend to have an opinion none-the-less. :)

[carlek]

Of course, Radek was better than most at 14. But if you know anything about the horn, even his young talent had to work very very very hard, to get much much better to play as he does now.

[OAbrey]

One of my best friends, Carl Ek was as good at 15. Baborak is a great player hands down.

[nocanpau]

It's good to hear young people play so well ... I feel good to know that our orchesters will countiuo with great horn sections!

[harveycor]

This is a reply to the person saying that 5 hours a day is the maximum your chops can tolerate ..

Not True

It is up to the individual-and I can honestly tell you that practicing or performing 10 or more hours a day is second nature to a working professional hornist.

It is a matter of pacing oneself and not doing anything obviously stupid--like *noodling* or 'performing all of one's horn solos on stage during the pre concert WARM UP!

The last dumb thing-swapping out different-rimmed mouthpiec

[harveycor]

Weber Concertino-On a single F -although the video is a smidgen out of 'phase' with the audio- it gave me an opportunity to observe that this piece is much more efficiently performed with the F (and the horn still allows for alternative fingerings)
