I used an anonymous French natural horn of the first half of the 19th century.
2020 and 2021
I used a natural horn built by Tabard in Lyon in the first half of the 19th century.
Instrument from Kate Rockett
I have used in both the symphonies I have played in a French natural trumpet, copy of a Raoux from 1800 made by Patrick Fraize. It had the particularity of being hand-stoped, like the horns, on. F’s, Eb and other notes out of the natural harmonic series.
For the able concerto for cello and violin, I have used a very nice old Bb rotary trumpet made by Gustav Wagner in Dresden. The instrument is most probably dated from the 1940’s. It was then made in a quite old fashion way.
For the piano concerto with Olga, I have used a Romantic F trumpet copied By Christian Bosc from an Italian original by Fernando Roth. It is quite a conservative choice of valved instrument but I thought it suits Brahms very well.
The instruments I used for different pieces throughout the two years were:
-Copy of a 1800 natural trumpet by Rauex, made by Patrick fraize
-Copy of a ca. 1720 natural trumpet, made by Matt Martin, Norwich.
-Copy of a mid 19th century Italian rotary trumpet in F, made by Cristian Bosc.
-ca. 1900 Bb rotary, Dresden design.
Gebruikte fluiten, allen gemaakt door Fridtjof Aurin Düsseldorf naar originelen van:
• Wilhelm Liebel (1793-1873) uit Dresden.
1) Een buxushouten 9 kleppen fluit, het origineel gebouwd na 1830 en
2) Een ebbenhouten 9 kleppen fluit, het origineel gebouwd voor 1850.
De piccolo is ook een Liebel en wel een ebbenhouten origineel met 5 kleppen gebouwd voor 1870.
