It&#8217;s a great balance between musical artistry and showmanship. Now I did see another live performance of this group where Jon Hurrell went a little over the top with schmaltz to please the audience and the performance was more effected. But this performance is a bullseye to me. And in the end, we all have to sell tickets.<\/p>\n<p>Having played French Horn (I guess in contemporary times it&#8217;s changed to just &#8220;horn&#8221;) for 7 years when I was younger, I have great appreciation for how difficult it is to do the smallest stage moves and still maintain embouchure and tone.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great embarrassments of my life was playing French Horn in my Sophomore year of High School for the county judges and not receiving the high score. I was mortified. And it was the Mozart Horn Concerto in Bb that I played.<\/p>\n<p>So Mr. Jon Hurrell, my hat is off to you for your presentation. And also a very fine group of players in the rest of the group &#8211; the trumpet player is very impressive in his delicate approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MKC9LvRivTM This is the third movement of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart&#8217;s Horn Concerto Number 2, originally written for a natural horn (without valves) and a small orchestra.
