What an amazing horn player! She keeps it up so long. Horn is so hard to play, so easy to make a mistake. The toughest instrument in that regard. She makes it seem easy! And keeps going and going, without mistake. This whole performance is so hard, you don't even know. Incredible.

Horn is never very easy, only when you have been playing it for years you truly realize how never easy a piece is, be it Mozart 1st concerto or beginner tunes...

So I took a class called “What Is A Computer”, then thought well, isn’t that interesting, so took a programming class in Basic. And suddenly I was in a new field for my next career, from which I retired 10 years ago. Interesting coincidence that you should text me today ... I was digging through some old stuff to show my great-niece , and found recordings of me and three other horn players playing Richard Strauss‘s Konzertstuck , and on the flip side, me soloing with an orchestra in Strauss’s Concerto #1. Wow, wonderful memories. It was a life I would never have left. Thanks for asking!

I like her interpretation of the second mvt more than Barry Tuckwell's. Simply one of the best.

I have to learn this for my freshman year of honors band Lord have mercy

I like the sound a lot. Listen to this and immediately after this Peter Damm's rendition. That will show you that the horn is not an instrument. The horn is a world. For me this is modern German horn playing. Large, shiny sound of an Alex, putting the hammer down without losing (much) intonation, magnificent, magnificent, magnificent.

After 10 years on brass instruments (horn and cornet) I graduated from high school and never played again. In the mid 60s music like this was not available to the masses in a small town. So I never knew how absolutely beautiful the horn was till I started surfing the net. One hopes that this exposure will nudge kids now playing into a more dedicated pursuit than most students of my time. The sheer number of OUTSTANDING hornists blows me away. Ms. Neunecker certainly numbers among them.

This is a youth concerto by Richard Strauss. His father was onr of the most celebrated hornist in Germany. Much later, he wrote a second concerto, which took into account his evolution towards a personal postromantism.

Beautiful location. Stunning Horn performance, perfectly accompanied. Thank you. (Also impressed that this could be played so confidently in those spiky heels.)

Wow. Ms. Neunecker is a fabulous artist.

My favourite. I have listened to rather. a lot of recordings of this piece now and M-L Neunecker has a poise, musicality and expression, intonation and decisiveness about tempo that sets her apart IMO. She takes it slower than many but it gives the music additional gravitas and she has the smoothest leaps and perfect intonation. Of course the CD recording is clearer than the library acoustics but this video proves that she delivers in live performance just as well as in the studio. I wish you would come and give some concerts in Australia.

When we played this song, I completely fell in love with the sound of a french horn

What a great sound.

A true and deep interpretation of Strauss’ hornconcerto!! Gorgeous!! Bravi!!

I got nostalgic for some soothing French horn sounds and found this video.

I am learning so many things from this performance. The way she power attacks high B flat with such confidence is mind blowing and I must do that too.

It's good to know that I'm not the only horn player who dances when they play.

This rates up there with the top live performances of this piece available for viewing on you Tube. She's always been great! Such a solid and beautiful tone!

I cannot stress how easy she makes this look jfc. Lady’s insane

I am not a horn player, but I loved this performance. mainly in the piano notes in the high register, her intepretation of the legato of the adagio is beyond any doubt, a masterpiece.

Hervorragend von Frau Prof. Neunecker gespielt, sehr souverän, technisch und musikalisch perfekt! Gratulation!

Ms. Neunecker is a superb musician. Strauss #1 is not nearly as easy as she makes it seem.

She, is truly gifted....That was beautiful.

Really superb, my favourite concert performance of strauss's horn 1. Orchestra and soloist all excellent! 30.01.24

Une musicienne brillante, un excellent orchestre, et une très belle composition de Strauss, avec de merveilleux accords ! Pour moi, une superbe découverte ! Un grand bravo à la soliste et aux musiciens . Quelle chance nous avons de nos jours de pouvoir écouter de si sublimes pages musicales et des artistes aussi extraordinaires ! Merci de tout coeur de nous faire partager ces très beaux moments !!

Magnificent! Perfect technique & musical artistry. Have heard & played a lot of Horn through years & of course both Strauss. Love the Berlin Phil Horn section. Had not known of Prof Neunecker previously - she's obviously a great artist of the Horn.

So beautiful.

Just tuned into this today- on Halloween- and had a good laugh at the pumpkin dress. But then... what an awesome performance!

Great!!Miss Neunecker!!😃😃😃👍👍👍

My horn teacher brought me this to sight read, it’s an amazing piece!

At Minute 2:17 into the piece, the camera focuses on the first violinist, who looks very much like James Levine, then still conductor for the Metropolitan Opera. He had early been conducted for the Munich Philharmonic so it is likely him.

Beautiful phrasing and tone, a pleasure to listen to, thank you.

Beautiful music. Muenecker is outstanding. And well dressed too, one might add.

Stunning performance!!!

So Beautiful ! Thank you so much !

Brava, Brava! Seamless phrasing, with a lovely choice of rubato spots, and accel., throughout the shaping of this great piece of music, composed for the Queen of the Brass Instruments! Kudos to the artistic accompaniment, of the orchestra, and the soloist within the ensemble. It is right up there with Barry Tuckwell's outstanding recording Performed in a lovely Baroque setting. How lucky for us all to enjoy. I would love to know what mouthpiece she is using.

1. Thanks 1000 times over to the recording engineer for a brilliant mic configuration to capture this so evenly. 2. Loved Neunecker's playing, it was huge, like American huge! I rarely get to hear horn players own it like so. 3. I'm no fan of this Tuckwell arrangement or the speed at which the third movement is played, it's so fast it's not playful. 4. Search for Strauss: Horn Concerto No. 1 - Baborak / Charles Olivieri-Munroe / National Philharmonic of Russia, they just put it out on July 29, 2018, it us unbelievable and, as far as I am concerned, the absolute best version I've heard -- recording engineer's on this LOFT production were better, which you'll hear.

Bravo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She looks so good and charismatic . And also the variety in her playing is great. Also the character of the parts has a good difference to each other. For example the introduction of the first movement is very heroic but the introduction of the second movement is very soft and carried. Also she takes her time and doesn't play through in the same tempo all the way what makes it really interesting to listen to it. The way she plays it make you feel like she is making art like in every moment you see and hear her play. The sound in the second movement is very soft and caring for every single note which sounds beautiful. I am not a big fan of her teaching style however. It's the east germany teaching style. Strict and you have to do it exactly the way the teacher tells you to. But if you survive that you become very good.

Neunecker has that magic "Dennis Brain" touch!! Her sound, like Brain's, is a real horn sound (compared to which so many other horn players seem to be going dwah-dwah-dwah, or making pretty but inappropriately euphonium-like warblings). What a delightful surprise!

Bravo to Richard Strauss like composer; i know because when i compose music for orchestra i use much 2 hornes with 2 trompettes. I have writed one Sestetto ,decimino and one Dodicimino for only wind instruments.

Good to see the beautiful architectural setting, but curious that the camera dwells on it so long that we don't get a close-up of the horn in the key opening fanfare. And an intrusive advert covering the orchestra in the final bars! Still, a fine performance.

What kind of horn is that, and what mouthpiece do you use?
