"With his successful career and, above all, engagement with the
Berliner Philharmoniker, Radek Baborák has followed the path taken by
the Czech horn players who back in the second half of the 18th century
gained fame in distinguished chapels in the territoiry of today's
Germany. As the repertoire of this recording proves, besides the most
renowned of them, Giovanni Punto, other Czech composers too had a
penchant for creating music for the natural horn. The reason for the
growing popularity of this instrument and its frequent application not
only in orchestral and chamber music but also in solo parts was the
technical improvement and, consequently, greater interpretational
possibilitiesand higher attractiveness of sound. (...)"
