As I'm disinclined to hang around on what I still call Twitter... you can now find me at @annekescott.bsky.social - huge thanks to Isabelle Brent (isabellebrent.com) for permission to use what I felt was a very apt artwork
There I was thinking I'd already done the last gig of the season! Huge thanks to @capella_krk for a surprise final concert of the year. Total pleasure to wrap up 2024 with some Haydn Symphonies (including the splendid number 72 replete with four horns).
Here's the smashing horn team I've had the pleasure of closing the year with: (LR) @PeterMoutoussis, myself, Nina Daigremont and @DziewonskiPawel

I was (all to briefly) in my home town of Birmingham recently for a concert and spotted a stall at their “German Market” selling all manner of “horns”. Had to get one to add to my collection!
Whilst it may not appear very "seasonable" to be releasing this new video today - the first performance of the earliest version of this song (a version entitled "Le Paysan breton") was on this very day in 1833!

Berlioz created several different orchestrations of this song and it is the third (from 1835 for tenor, horn and piano) that we're sharing here today.
Hector Berlioz "Le Jeune Pâtre breton"
from Fleurs des landes op. 13
@laurence_kilsby - tenor
@AnnekeScott - horn (Lucien-Joseph Raoux cor solo)
@devinemusicman - piano (Érard )

Following on from Kathryn Zevenbergen's #HiddenHorn found in a bookshop, here's a favourite thing of mine. It's a rather lovely book mark made by @TiffanyAndCo to mark the 100th anniversary of @carnegiehall
The reason I’m in Vienna! It's a little bit of a geographical detour from my research into timbre and portamento on the horn during the 19th century (as I'm mostly focusing on French repertoire) but it was a real treat to present my thoughts on Schubert's song "Auf dem Strom" …
I was joined by the absolute powerhouse of a musician and human being that is soprano Anna Fraser, as well as pianist Tzu-Yu Yang who joined us, bringing so much expressivity and flexibility to the party…
Thanks to @Ben_Alden_ for pointing me in the direction of this #HiddenHorn in Vienna!
I met this fascinating musician and epic human recently...
A strong recommendation of a project to back! Very excited to see this develop!
