As an ex student of the French Horn, we all know that our mouthpiece is the smallest, and on entrances, a slight imprecision causes a 'blurb', and not a wrong note. It adds to the beauty of life's imperfections ... a memorable performace offers us something more to remember than this. By the way, there are 4, 5 other highly professional performances on the tube with this same blurb effect. I bet Bruckner wouldn't mind this so very much. I will ask him when we see each other the next time.
This is a very common mistake in Viennese horn players or who play old horns, 19th century French horns, natural horns and even the modern French horn, very difficult to avoid. It is common.
Don’t see the players? 😂Catch Karajan sharing the spotlight with anybody. Some of the later videos he made (of the Beethoven symphonies for example) are a torture to watch…. With the camera relentlessly focused on him from beginning to end.

Oops, anyone else catch the split notes at 1:30 and 1:40?

@@samfelipeantunes yeah I know
Well, at 1:40 I guess the high horns are relaying and just not "perfectly" in tune. Not a split note per say.
Yes and Karajan was angry!
Yep. Can't blame em, but man, you couldn't pay me to play on those horns.
Yeah. Even worse you don't see the players. Bad video. jw
