Brahms / Baborak / Bacova Horn Quintets CD

The new album of the world-renowned horn player Radek Babork, released on Animal Music, brings compositions by three romantic authors in arrangements for the French horn and string quartet. These include Radek Babork and Alexei Aslamas's arrangement of Brahms's legendary Quintet in G major, Op. 111, two shorter pieces by Alexander Glazunov (Idylle and Serenade No. 2), and a Quintet in G minor, "K?yr?torvi" (French horn in Finnish), which was created by Babork by extending the original score of Jean Sibelius's famous String Trio. This album by Babork Ensemble - Radek Babork (French horn), Milan Al-Ashhab and Martina Bacov (violin), Karel Unterm?ller (viola), and Hana Baborkov (cello) - features the world premiere recording of the works by Brahms and Sibelius.
