Wonderful Dennis Brain compliation

Dennis Brain was the greatest horn player of the 20th century and this is the greatest collection of his recordings I’ve found yet. The famous 1953 recordings of the Mozart horn concertos conducted by Karajan are included. There are a plethora of other wonderful gems in this set.

The EMI website has the entire track list and notes posted online. Do yourself a favor and read those. They do a wonderful job of highlighting each recording. This is truly a unmatched collection of Brain’s best recordings.
