The horn reaches even lower notes. From Brasil

Let’s not forget the percussionist. Tasteful jazz drumming and mallets. He really makes it swing.

Who says Horns can’t play jazz? Fabulous!

May I suggest "Gillespiana" by Lalo Schifrin, originally written in 1960 for Dizzy Gillespie's quintet and an all-brass big band, or the classic Miles Davis/Gil Evans collaborations ("Miles Ahead," "Porgy and Bess," "Sketches of Spain") with Evans incorporating French horns into a larger tonal spectrum backing Davis.

Wow! That big beefy sound Sarah gets out of that horn. Just amazing.

Oh yeah horn has a crazy range. You just gotta be skilled enough to utilize it. It’s insane that Sarah can get that register to actually come out so strong

The Horn is the same length as an F baritone.

@@jessstuart7495 F tuba, you mean? Baritone is 9 feet. Horn is 12 plus.

Best horn section there is and you have such a range and gorgeous variations in tonality. What next? I think similar treatment for The Rite of Spring 😂Happy Christmas Sarah, Stefan and the Berlin Horns.

French horn has always been my favorite brass to listen to; they have just a mellower, sweeter tone, in my opinion. This is great. Thank you.

Makes me want to dance the night away .... ... ...

"Do you play the low horn or the high horn?" Sarah: "Yes."

I love this and lovely ladies with such a lowwwww voice... Merry XmaX

This is so kick ass. 12 years of sitting near horn sections in community orchestras and college and I dont think I've ever heard the low register so well explored and executed. Moments where the horn sounds near like a 'Bone. Also surprising was the use of the far upper register in the first mvmnt. Nearly sounded trumpet-like. I had no idea the horn could do that.

The French Horn has the same tubing length as a trombone, twice that of a trumpet, enabling low notes. It also has a small mouthpiece like a trumpet, enabling the higher notes. Yes it gives a wide range, assuming the player's tooth and lip shapes allow reaching the ends of the scale.

Awesome. Not many French Horn players can attempt to play jazz. But the Berlin French Horn players nailed it. excellent

Those are some full low notes at the beginning, I have never heard a horn produce notes of that quality before.

Those low notes can be reached in the F mode (by not pushing the thumb valve).

Creative, talented, and wishing I could hear Berlin live before I die.

I’ve been a bass trombone and tenor trombone player for a long time and just started learning horn on a 8D, it is such a great instrument

Thank you for your unique Christmas celebration you bring every year, Sarah. It is a breath of fresh air.

Dawg this makes my heart so happy.

Love you all! ❤

This goes against everything I thought I knew. As a horn player, this made me so happy merry Christmas all!!

Just astounding. You know intellectually that anyone who plays in the Berlin Phil is a brilliant player, or they wouldn't be in the Berlin Phil. But to actually see it in practice is incredible. And it's not just chops for the sake of chops. It's always about the music. The chops serve the music, which is how it should always be.

The Berlin Phil horns! Nobody plays the horn as they do. And Sarah Willis! Nobody plays low horn as she does. Okay, Denise Tryon is right up there, too, but I’d still have to vote for Sarah! What else can I say about them and her? 1,000 bravissimos!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻📯🎄

Beautiful ! 👏 The Nutcracker is great ! 🙂 Congratulations Sarah and Berlin Phil Horns ! 💐🌹 Merry Christmas ! ☃️🔔🎄

Bravo!!!

Danke, thanks, and spasiiibboooo)))

You bring the greatest joy round the world with your beautiful French horn skills and special arrangements. Thank you from the bottom of the world, the very south of New Zealand!

Tchaikowsky revolcándose de felicidad en su tumba. Jamás se habría imaginado ésto.

3:42 was absolutely gorgeous. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get my low range to sound that full and beautiful. good job everyone!

When horns play in tuba range. I’m truly truly impressed.

Thank you for this video. Merry Christmas!

Very nice. Perfect for Sarah for the bass line.

GLORIOUS! OF COURSE!

Absolutely loved the performance. Have never heard the French Horn sound awesome.

Bonjour. AAAAAHHHH!!!! ça c'est génial!!!! Un énorme bravo!!!!

The horn is such a wonderful instrument. Thanks for sharing this!

Best horn section in the world

Sarah Willis, the best ❤️

Horn is the best for single instrument brass ensembles. It can play nearly all the notes a trumpet and a trombone can. And it can be mellow or brassy. It goes well with nearly any other instrument. It is a beautiful, versatile instrument.

Brushed up well didn't they . Never normally see the horns in such splendor . Superb and thank you for sharing. Enjoy your trip abroad Sarah, hope he SUN Shines ....

So much to love about this. Agreed best Horn section around. The thing that stands out to me is the balance. You can choose to listen to each horn or collectively as a section. I have played in section with “professionals” that think louder is better and you can’t hear yourself, others in the section or the orchestra. Berlin Horns are my inspiration. Thank you! ❤️

Marvelous! , The register of the french horns are espectacular , from the lowest pitch to the highest pitch , so the arrangement is not a problem for the Berlin Philharmonic Horns, it seems to be a jazz music written for our present time , not taken from Tchaikovsky music. awsome! , BRAVO Sarah", and thanks for sending it, Merry Christmas ! to all of you.

So much impressive talent in one place what a delight

So ein toller Klang. Was Horn so alles kann. Großartig.!!! Nicht zu vergessen den tollen Drummer.!!!

Absolutely loved it!! Excellent arrangement and amazing horn players!

Sounds like a full brass quintet, so amazing

Outstanding performance....so much fun!!!

Wonderful!! Thank you !!!

That was just incredible :) Merry Christmas!

Some of the most enthralling horn playing I’ve ever heard. Thanks for posting.

Amazing!! Merry Christmas to you all too!

Outstanding playing all of you!!! Sarah, have a good and save trip to Cuba. Son, quizás, los mejores músicos en mambo. Happy Christmas.

Being both a drummer and a trumpet player, this is amazing!

Top to bottom, all superb players!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎄

No solo sos (escribo como argentino) una maravillosa ejecutante sino que a ello le sumas tu simpatía y belleza. Gracias por enseñarnos tu música tan especial, por lo de Cuba y esperando alguna vez escucharte tocando algún tango de Piazzolla. Saludos afectuosos.

Yay! Great playing! Bravo!

Bravo! As a horn player (40yrs ago) I really admire the adaptation of the Nutcracker to The Horn

Awesome virtuoso performance and equally awesome arrangement! Impressive range control (especially the almost "Trombone sound" in the low part) and gorgeous homogenous sound blend, made this a very enjoyable listening experience ably assisted by the excellent percussionist! WOW! [Is everyone playing the same make Horn? Gorgeous blend!]
