The American Horn Quartet has produced an awsome recording of Schumann's Konzertstück for 4 Horns and Orchestra. I've owned many recordings of this piece, each one cherished on the merit of its particular strengths. This recording shows what the piece sounds like with four soloists, opposed to the more typical situation where the orchestra horn section is being featured. It brings a new level of virtuosity to the piece, and more clarity and precision than any other recording I know. It shows that the AHQ has performed this piece dozens of times around the world.
Also on the recording are the George Philipp Telemann Overture for 4 Horns and Haydn's Symphony 31 "mit dem Hornsignal".
