4.0 out of 5 stars Horn virtuosity a highlight of Weber collection, 1 Feb 2003
If you are familiar with Nimbus issues from the 1980s and 1990s, you'll know what to expect in terms of recording quality, i.e. plenty of space around the sound (some would say excessive reverberation).

If you can handle that, these are terrifically exciting readings of most of Weber's orchestral output played with tremendous verve on period instruments. Expect some rough edges, as period instrument playing was not as infallible when these were recorded as it is now, but in terms of pure joie de vivre these performances take a lot of beating.

Although the two symphonies are hardly mainstream repertoire, the one real curiosity in the set is the Concertino for horn, which is so difficult that you will almost never see it programmed in live concerts. The soloist, Anthony Halstead, pulls off feats of virtuosity that have to be heard to be believed. What makes his performance even more remarkable is that it was taped in spare time at the end of the sessions for the overtures and symphonies with barely any re-takes. Truth to tell, you probably have to be a fully signed-up horn anorak to appreciate every nuance, but this is a one-off performance that is never likely to be repeated. Buy it and be amazed at what can be done on a horn with no valves!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight to hear, 1 Jan 2009
By Guy Chapman - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have several recordings of the Weber horn concertino, a staple of the horn repertoire and a party piece for many players. This is far and away my favourite. Tony Halstead's playing is a masterclass in hand stopping technique, incredibly fluid and a joy to hear. The balance from the orchestra is perfect, the Hanover Band delivering their usual sensitive and thoughtful performance, but it is Tony's playing that really makes this recording for me. Many other fine recordings of the Weber exist (for vivacity, lightness of touch and sense of fun I love Barry Tuckwell's version, and for sheer virtuosity Frank Lloyd is a tough act to beat), but in this recording we have a winning combination of the softer-sounding natural horn, a really great historically informed performance band, and a knowledgeable and sympathetic interpretation from Goodman and Halstead.
