I am looking for good recordings of music for 2 horns or more. Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
David

Here are some of my favorites. They may not all be in print.

Telemann Horn Concertos; Hermann Baumman, Timothy Brown, Nicholas Hill,
Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields [Philips CD 412 226-2]. One of these
is for one horn, the others are for 2 or 3.

Grande Messe de Saint Hubert/Musiqe de Chasse; Hermann Baumann, Folkwang
Horn Ensemble [Philips CD 426 301-2]. Hunting music scored for a large
ensemble of natural and valve horns, and organ. It's just a wall of
sound.

"Es blies ein Jager wohl in sein Horn"; Bayreuth Festival Horns [Acanta
CD 43 469]. This has a lot of short, peppy hunts and fanfares and things
for 8 horns.

"Fantasien fur 8 Horner"; Bayreuth Festival Horns [Arts Music CD
47512-2]. These are fantasies based on themes by Wagner, for 8 horns.

"Quartet for Vienna Horns"; Vienna Philharmonic Horn Quartet [Camerata
CD 30CM-495]. A lot of short works for horn quartet.

And one that everyone should have:
Schumann Konzerstuck for 4 Horns and Orchestra. There are several
recordings of it. I'm partial to the one by the Berlin Philharmonic horn
section with the Bamberg Symphony [Koch International Classics Schwann
CD 311021 H1]

Happy listening.

The London Horn Ensemble's recent recording on Cala Records is superb.

Maybe it's not what you want, but there's a genius piece by Kurt Gäble
called "Hornfestival", for at least 2 Solo Horns and Symphonical Winds
Orchestra. It's released by Musikverlag Andreas Schorer,
Reichenhallerstr. 4, 34308 Bad Emstal, Germany.
