Tuesdays on the Tube: Vienna Horns

 

The Vienna horn sound has always been known to be distinct from the standard french horn. This article from the New York Times explains more about the “The Viennese Sound” made famous by the Vienna Philharmonic. The group, Vienna Horns, have taken on the task of recording familiar songs (and original compositions) to the sound of multiple Viennese horns playing together.

Take a listen to this magnificent group with their unique style and unique sound.
