Under the direction of Margaret Faultless the OAE shine on these new recordings of Mozart's Horn Concertos, featuring some astounding performances by Roger Montgomery on the natural horn. As well as lesser-known gems of Mozart's horn repertoire, at the centre of the collection comes the lyrical fourth Horn Concerto (K.495), featuring thrilling fanfares and brilliant dialogue between the solo instrument and orchestra.
"[Montgomery] loses nothing in technique to anyone, valved or otherwise. These are live performances, and the only way one can tell is in the spontaneity they exude. Accuracy is impeccable...the list of delights to be gleaned from this disc is endless." MusicWeb International, 22nd January 2014
"Montgomery slips into their varying moods through affecting phrasing, resilient changes in tempo, accentuation and dynamics, partnered by the OAE at its best. Well worth owning." Gramophone Magazine, March 2014
