horns

I am a total Mac user, but I love the horns in this commercial. It is apparently the theme song to the movie “Silverado.”

This video is a must-see for all horns! Also, if you want to know why I love the horn, click here. You will wish Simon Rattle was YOUR conductor. As if that weren’t enough, here’s one more– this symphony calls for 12 horns.

Watch a video masterclass by David Pyatt from the LSO.

As per Eddie’s request, I am posting this link to some rare footage of the horn virtuoso Dennis Brain playing Beethoven. Also, here is the Berlin Philharmonic horn section playing a movement from Mozart’s Horn Concert No. 4.
