Wilhelm Bruns (Natural Horn)
Notes & Reviews:
As a complement to the complete recording of the symphonies, Thomas Fey presents Haydn's Horn Concertos as a special treat! Above all, Wilhelm Bruns performing on a natural horn is a sensation. Bruns' mastery of these difficult scores gives them a warmth and naturalness not encountered in performances on the modern orchestral French Horn. Filling out the program is Symphony No. 31, nick-named "The Hornsignal"- the perfect companion work for the virtuoso concertos.
Gramophone Magazine
[Bruns] plays [the concerti] on a valveless horn as if they're the best music ever written for the instrument and consequently turns in gripping performances, full of wit and wisdom.
International Record Review
Wilhelm Bruns's solo execution is virtuosic and makes an excellent case for his valveless instrument...The three players who join Bruns in [the Hornsignal] prove worthy colleagues, and the 'period' sonority of the ensemble seems perfectly apt for the score.
