5.0 out of 5 stars Beauty and Innocence, Jul 20 2003
By A Customer
This is one of those rare albums you can listen to for hours on end and never tire of--every track, every note, blows a fresh happy gust of cheer into the room.

Brain's virtuosity is so admirable here, it inspired me to take up the horn. But then I put it back down, when I realized I didn't know how to play it.

5.0 out of 5 stars His horn is immortal, Jul 8 2003
By J. Susanne Wirth "Mi ta stima Aruba" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first heard this recording of Dennis Brain on an Angel long playing record when I was in high school on the island of Aruba in 1960. To hear the beautifully haunting sounds in the Music Appreciation class of Mr. Jan Koulman and then to learn that the musician who made this exquisitely ethereal music had died, just three years earlier, was a haunting lesson in mortality for an impressionable young girl. All of my lifetime I have been touched by the sounds of Dennis Brain's horn. These concerti have been companions when I was very happy and when I have been tremendously sad...the music made by Dennis Brain can celebrate or it can soothe...but, it never fails to touch my soul. As long as there are copies of these recordings and human hearts to be reached by the music written by Mozart and brought to life by Dennis Brain, they both will be immortal...and humankind forever enriched.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of A Kind, Jun 6 2003
By NNNNN "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - See all my reviews
You may not be able to play a musical instrument but you are capable of knowing good playing no matter what the instrument. On occasion though one hears playing of an order that is beyond all else and that also can be recognized even by a non player. Such is the playing of Dennis Brain on this now classic recording of the 4 Mozart Horn Concertos conducted by Karajan. There is nothing to compare it to as it is truly in a place of its own. We often use the phrase "natural player" or more often over use it. That is not the case here in desrcibing Brain's wonderful playing. The original album just contained the concertos but the cd gives us a nice bonus of the Wind Quintet featuring Brain and some of the finest British wind players of the period. The cd is a 1950's mono recording but the sound is so good and the playing so exceptional that you will probably not notice it.
