A well done,albeit brief demonstration. In recent decades,where accuracy has become understandably prioritized,even at the expense of tonal quality,we can recall earlier players who were completely capable on the traditional double.I recall a performance by Tuckwell of Britten's Serenade. BT performed it (excepting the Prologue and Epilogue) on a full double...without error.That is how I learned and have performed that challenging work.Today,few would play it unaided by the shorter horn.
th-cam.com/video/lKMUwb7Lcfs/w-d-xo.html It's been uploaded since your comment. It's very good, but they do squib notes. And yes, you're right: accuracy > sound many times. The 'old' sound I grew up associating with horns and fairy tales is gone with the preference on a brighter, more commercial sound these days.
Given the variety and expectation of accuracy today,it is understandable that many players resort to descant and triple horns. For interest and comparison, listen to Harry Berv in the NBC Symphony Berlioz Queen Mab, on a Conn 8D.
And Tuckwell's US debut, playing the Strauss Second Concerto, on a brass Kruspe...Nowadays, sadly, even the conductors go for "accuracy" over sound. I think many of them don't even know what a horn should sound like. Not to criticize the wonderful playing and tone demonstrated in this clip, however.
I knew Arthur briefly during about 1969-1971.He was still playing excellently in probably what was his early to mid sixties.He then played a brass Kruspe.As a younger man he used a Schmidt for a while. I know that Harry played wonderfully on the background music of many TV shows of the post NBC Sym. era.But I will say that I heard a recorded live performance of Harry playing Mozart K412 with an Ohio high school band in about 1965.The band was pretty bad, and Harry had a bad day (don't we all?).

I'd note that the book referenced is now in a second edition and available in print or as a Kindle book from Amazon
And/ or the three Bervs playing the Horn Signal Symphony in their debut with the NBC in 1938, on Silver Kruspes...

You Defintely should try out the new Stomvi Titan Horns from Spain.. They are BEAUTIFULLY MADE
Who is the horn player performing?
Which movement is that Mahler 1 excerpt from?
Listen to Harry Berv play the Queen Mab with the NBC and Toscanini on the Conn 8D....Res ipsa loquitor
his sound on the MAHLER is somewhat...
+Donald Schneider I was thinking that too. It might have to do with the instrument because he sounded good on the other excerpts.
