I've been playing horn for almost 50 years and I'll say this is excellent. I don't think I could do this piece any better. I wish her all the luck in her future.

Absolutely Wonderful! Love her sound!

A horn teacher once told me that great tone is characterized by having a beautiful start and intonation to your notes. Her tone is very defined by these qualities for which she does an amazing job at both.

Playing french horn definitely takes some skill, and a ton of practice for performance music. This is beautiful. Not only the soloist, but the entire group. Beautiful.

This piece requires not only mature technique and steely nerves but a very strong sense of personal direction. She has all those things going for her. She’ll go far. Well done, young lady.

Absolutely Beautiful

Wow…you are a star Katerina, your tone, technic etc are beautiful, but most of all your spirit that came through the music with integrity was amazing and made me rejoice in the beauty of the human spirit in these times we find ourselves in. Thank you for sharing yourself through this performance. You enriched my life. Jon Barrows (Seattle WA)

So bright, clean and clear.

Well done, Katerina. That sweep to the high B-flat at 8:06 was so sweetly perfect, and as musically emotional as any horn player could aspire to play it! There are many notes, transitions and technical iterations to a performance, but those brilliant defining moments really express the beauty inside. Bravo my dear... a special performance indeed and this achievement will persist for a lifetime and beyond for future generations to appreciate.

Fantastic horn sound , very colorful

Bravo ! 👏🏆

Great sound. Bravo Katerina. i was a horn player...i know how dificult is to play. Bravo .

Proper portrayal and timelines of emotion. On the team.

Sehr angenehm zu hören , das Horn und der gesamte Orchester sind ausgezeichnet . Die Geigenspieler haben mir auch sehr gut gefallen , das macht mir leichter zu entscheiden meine Tochter in die Musikschule zu schicken .

Une excellente instrumentiste . Un grand bravo à la soliste et à l'orchestre ! Merci pour le partage de toute cette belle musique ! Strauss était vraiment un grand compositeur , très inventif , avec des accords sublimes .

Superb playing. Outstanding sound. Beautiful artist'

Stunningly beautiful performance. Katerina such confidence, talent, musicality, great sound and technique. You have it all!

Wow; this and Strauss' Horn Concerto 1 are beautiful! Well done, Ms. Javurková!

Beautiful! She carries on the excellent tradition of Czech horn playing!

Excellent performance! I wish I could play like that.

Ok, that is some serious horn playing. Hats off.

Браво,Катерина!!!

Just beautiful!

Excellent light sound, beautiful tone quality. Brava!

Very technically great, beautiful and restrained performance.

My God, this gives me chills. Bravo

Her embouchure doesn’t change even ONCE

Really awesome Katerina. God what a clean intonation knowing how difficult is this concerto. Barry Tucker would congratulate you. Thank you!!

Very beautiful sound. Respect!!! Bravissimo...

I don't play horn anymore but sometimes I look up videos of horn wizards and just jam out.

周りの人達もうっとりしてるのがいいですね…✨

Brava, amo il tuo suono e l'interpretazione sublime.

Очень изящно и даже женственно! Это так необычно для этого концерта и это здорово!!!

What a nice sound!! Congrats

Браво ,,,, очень красивое исполнение👏👏👏

Now that is playing! Just wonderful!

What a beautiful tone and I love your phrasing. Thank you for sharing.

ECCELLENTE! Grande Cornista, SUPER!

はじめて聴きました。この演奏者！！優しくあったか、歌うホルンにうっとりです(^^♪

9:07 zeer mooie muziek, mooi gespeeld

I have been listening to this concerto for over 60 years and this version is the one I will return to before any other! All other versions are loaded with testosterone which suits the first concerto but not this one written in the same period as the four last songs and the Weltschmert near the end of the war. The words that come to mind are Feminine, Serene, graceful,-exquisite.l " A chipped not is trivial, playing without passion in unforgivable" Beethoveen

Fantastic!!!!!!

Excellent!!!

I just heard her play some recital pieces at the 2023 International Horn Symposium. She is realizing all the great potential that she exhibits here, a fabulous player!

와 이렇게 아름다운 호른연주라니 감동했읍니다

Fabulous tone and excellent intonation.

Brava! Bravissimi! Grazie!

Amazing !

Simply lovely! I am curious what the beige cylinder near the first valve is all about.

Wonderful!!

Only one word: B R A V O !!!

I thought this was a really nice interpretation of the piece. Very good technique, too. Just a couple of chipped notes (for those of you who play the horn, you are probably more forgiving of that than perhaps others). For the interpretation, I tend to put Dennis Brain and Radek Baborak at perhaps two ends of a spectrum. Brain plays it light, even playful, and with the orchestra. Baborak plays it a little heavy, more mechanically, and on top of the orchestra. Katerina Javurková seems to be playing more at the Dennis Brain end of that spectrum, although perhaps a bit slower and more dramatic in places. Just a real nice performance.

The best

Dennis Brain had a broken matchstick in his first valve slide, to damp a common oddball disturbing resonance in even the best of horns, even in her Alexander 103 !!. The opening triple jump fanfare is so smooth and cool, my jaw dropped when I heard it for the first time! She moves her body in prefect synchrony with the flow of the music. No composer in the last 200 years IMHO has written slow movements the way Strauss has. I would fly to Prague to hear her play Ausklang at the end of the Alpine Symphony. An added bonus is the ensemble, each member of which seems to have their hearts in it, not just workers on an assembly line ! Other performers juice the pace up to see who can play the most notes in the least time'- not this angel. As a last comment, the recording engineers have placed the mikes and set the balance perfectly ! 1

Krásná hudba :o

Bravissimo ! ! !

Замечательное исполнение, поздравляю!

Magnificent! I would like to hear her perform the Gliere concerto and the Weber concertino.

Great performance!!

Wow! Such a refreshing interpretation

As a horn player I thoroughly admire the technique; but the sound down low is just SPECTACULAR. If I didn't know that the sound is the player, I'd be asking that novice question of "What kind of horn and what mouthpiece are you using?" ..... but i won't. She would sound just as good on my horn.

молодец, приятный звук валторны, нет резкости, я сам в детстве играл на валторне 7 лет, потом разбитая губа .... и всё закончилось. Браво девушка!!!!!

Bravíssimo !!!!!!

Výborný.

Som dos Céus.

美妙的音乐

Bravíssimo !

Bravo lux!!!

12:07 ❤❤❤

good!!!!

👍👍👍

Brava, brava, brava!!!

👍

A well framed performance, the opening was full of body, the tone was full and wonderful during the performance. During the last movement where she brings in the Ist subject of the 1st move, abit week. Well done, an English horn player.ads

gut

罕见的对比，音量变化以及舌头清晰的圆号演奏。

I think she should have won. What does she have stuck to her Bb slide?

Ein Ohrenschmaus !!!!

Perfect intonation. Unfortunatelly , today it is wery rare horn ability....

Молодец девушка небольшие проблемки , но в целом супер !!!

Does she expressively move that horn around when she is sitting? Well played kid!

Tak to je Ona :)

достойный инструмент валторна от него тащщусь

Dedicado a alguien SERIO CAPAZ DE EJECUTAR ESTE INSTRUMENTO (corno francés)

Anyone know why a first place wasn't awarded to this lovely young horn player???

Its very good for my test in the school!!!! :-) ;-)

Just look at those biceps! Lovely!

15:27

Welches horn

finally someone where you can see the piece is hard to play. this is very uplifting for beginners :D

How old are the kids in this competition? I wasn't playing the Strauss anywhere close to this well until a few years into conservatory.

Does she have a wine cork jammed in the Bb tuning slide? That's interesting :D Lovely playing

...halagadora sonata....y que curioso...la salida del sonido de su horn, sale a 45 gratos del eje longitudinal del salon!?!?!....Orden de su maestro...o la reinita sabe que ese es el angulo de salida mas sensational de un horn. Felicitaciones Katerina, saliste a demostrar que estudiaste y que eres una gran artista. Y no ha hacer poses de diva. Saludos desde el terrunio mas cercano a la proxima galaxia: Ecuador.

very nice . great but Allegrini s verision was flawless

I cry cause I could have been there in that horn solo position. Unfortunately my Dad wasn't there to place a boot in my ass whenever I felt like giving up. Gotta blame somebody right? Fuck that. I wish I hadn't have given up on the Horn. I was so good at it. I loved it. I want to do it again.

For those who don't know: she plays the most demanding instrument with an astonishing easiness

Fargott Musik

wow.....seems to be a bodybuilding instrument.....look at her biceps and her huge chest.....in a fight she would blow me away....

Braver and more interesting then Baborak!
