A friend on Facebook linked to the following video on YouTube. This is amazing!
The sound of these horn players (and their horns) makes my heart grow about 2 sizes within my chest. I love it!!
I was not aware of this ensemble and their previous CDs, but my reaction is similar to the one I had when I first heard "The London Horn Sound" CD which came out a decade ago. Enjoy this excerpt:
Thank you for sharing that Lisa, it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJust what I needed this morning! I have not heard Jurassic Park theme for quit awhile and this was a very moving version.
ReplyDeleteI visited their site and spent the next 20mins looking up Vienna horns (not an instant google find what your looking for thing) - who new - now I even know what a pumpenvalve is LOL.
thanks even though I am rushing to get ready for class now.

I'm glad you ladies liked it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Vienna horn (mit pumpenvalve) creates a particularly warm sound. The way the instrument is wrapped and use of the double-cylinder piston valve create very smooth lines for the airflow.
Sorry, I should have provided a brief explanation for why the horns looked different than ones played here. They're interesting to look at, too.
