Peter Damm, Heinz Rogner - R.Strauss: Horn Concertos (1970-1981) [2021 SACD]

Richard Strauss's two horn concertos recorded by Peter Damm (1937-), who is famous as a world-famous horn soloist and mainly as a solo horn player of Staatscapelle Dresden, are finally SACD! It was recorded in the second year after joining SKD, and in 1975, a complete recording of R. Strauss's orchestral music co-produced with EMI (released as a SACD hybrid version on the tower planning board TDSA88, 168). As part of this, re-recording is also being done under the direction of Kempe. There is almost no technical change due to the difference of only 5 years, and since it is a very high level performance completed from the beginning, it is rather a difference in the conductor and recording state, but the tone to the delicate The introverted look is more pronounced in this first recording, and it's interesting to see the difference in overall scale between labels. However, this high degree of perfection is amazing, and this performance at the age of 42 at the time of recording will continue to be one of the model performances of R. Strauss's performance, which is synonymous with horn concerto along with Mozart. It will be loved for a long time.

For the coupling, we recorded two indoor songs with different tastes. Mozart is a sound source recorded in 1974, and it is a beautiful performance in which the gentle tone of Peter Damm blends well with the stringed instruments. Violin Rudolf Ulbrich, one of the concertmasters at SKD from 1942 to 1989, solo viola players Joachim Zintler (1956-1999) and Joachim Ulbrecht (1955-1997), The ensemble with Clements Dilner (1948-1990), the chief cello, is also worth listening to because the best sound such as the sound of Dresden is reproduced with high sound quality. Three of them, except Joachim Ulbrecht, are members of the Ulbrich Quartet, and the Haydn: Sun Quartet Collection recorded in 1970 is well known as a record award-winning masterpiece. The last Poulenc song was composed in the same year in memory of Dennis Brain, who died in September 1957, and the subtitle "Dedicated to Dennis Brain's Memories" is the main horn song. Known as one of the repertoires. The recording at Dresden's cathedral with organ accompaniment is also wonderful, and it can be said that it is a recording suitable for both of them.
