Reviews for Huw Watkins’ Horn Concerto

Bachtrack

“The romantic lyricism of Goldscheider’s final obligato over sustained string chords, evidenced his huge dynamic range, always perfectly controlled and effortless. DKam accepted the challenge creating some beautiful colours, but even the orchestral horns struggled to reach those high notes and match Goldscheider’s technical prowess. Goldscheider’s tone blended perfectly with DKam and was matched seamlessly by their horns. His attention to the maxim “play the little notes”, resulted in a very detailed interpretation. No mean feat when performed at this brisk tempo.”

“Goldscheider made the tricky writing seem quite natural, always with lovely tone. Dapper and poised throughout, Ben Goldscheider seemed entirely unphased by the concerto's technical and physical demands, playing with poise and beauty of tone.”
