In spite of his tragically brief career, British horn player Dennis Brain was one of the few wind players of the 20th century to achieve something close to superstar status. Besides reviving interest in the great horn literature from the past, he inspired many composers to expand its solo and chamber music repertoire, including Hindemith, Poulenc, and a number of British composers, most notably Britten, who wrote some of his most sublime music for Brain. The orchestra is larger than what has become standard since the advent of historically informed performance practice, with its leaner ensembles and use of period instruments, but Karajan's crisp readings are models of mid-20th century Mozart performances. Mozart wrote that his Quintet for piano and winds, K. 452, was "the best thing so far I have written in my life," and it is exceptionally graceful, inventive, and witty.

Karajan accompanies in his most restrained and refined mode, directing the Philharmonia who play with impeccable grace. The Quintet does not necessarily replace the leisurely version by Gieseking and principals from the same orchestra in a similar vintage mono recording on Testament, but Colin Horsley's fluid pianism is a perfect match for Brain's mellifluous ensemble. You have the chance to hear Brain's facility in coloratura.

Dennis Brain was one of the greatest horn players of all time. Perhaps no other collection of performances better exemplifies his delicate touch than this CD recorded in 1954. I have always held the Mozart horn concertos to be the most glorious, beautiful, and uplifting music ever written. When listening to these recordings I was forced to believe that this was exactly how Mozart wanted them to sound, and that Dennis Brain was truly born to play them. Some of these passages are very difficult to play, but Brain makes them appear absolutely effortless and graceful. Brain died at the age of 36,.
