HARALD GENZMER (b.1909): Concerto for 4 Horns and Orchestra, PAUL COENEN (1908-1996): Variations for Horn Quartet, Op. 69, ROBERT SCHUMANN (1810-1856): Konzerstück for 4 Horns and Orchestra, Op. 86.

Description: At sort of mid-price, this release is worth having entirely for the 18-minute Genzmer concerto whose four movements have a colorful, wide-open spaces feel to them which is positively American-sounding. Genzmer's brand of neo-classicism is seldom as open-heartedly tinged with Romanticism as here. Mid-price. Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra Horn Quartet, Bamberg Symphony Orchestra; Michael Boder. Originally released by Koch Schwann late 1980s.
