Customer Rating:      Summary: Tuckwell "rules" Comment: This recording has good production values, considering its date. I found the orchestra somewhat lacking, but Tuckwell is hard to beat. It was the first "used" CD purchased through Amazon and I was satisfied with the product and the service.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best Tuckwell version! Comment: After years of searching for my favorite version of the Horn concertos I found this one thanks to the recommendation of the penguin guide (they're good for some things y'know).
I've heard about a dozen versions and never settled on any of them (even the Brain and the other Tuckwell's).
This version should be the best example to Tuckwell's art. He brings out the depth and range of the instrument while staying commited to beauty and life.
The recording actually sounds like a live recording or like they didn't talk about anything at all...just went in there like geniuses and taped them down in one session!
Tuckwell and Marriner are truly insipred in this recording. Tuckwell is daring, strong, and passionate...Marriner is brisk and thoughtful, with strong and clean orchestral attacks (like in his other excellent version with the less individual Civil).
Enjoy!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Beautifully Played Mozart Comment: In this repertory, you can't do better than Neville Marriner and Barry Tuckwell. These are excellent performances at a great price.
