Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed classical music, this is how it might sound:

Prepare to be swept off your feet by the majestic sounds of the Claude Maury/Ricercar Academy collaboration, "The Romantic French Horn." Maury's expertise on the horn is matched only by his ability to transport listeners to a dreamy, pastoral landscape with every note he plays.

From the opening track, "Sonata for Horn and Harp," to the hauntingly beautiful "Nocturne for Horn and Piano," this album showcases Maury's mastery of the French horn and his undeniable passion for the music he plays. The Ricercar Academy provides the perfect backdrop for Maury's virtuosic performances, with lush orchestral arrangements that complement his every nuance.

But what truly sets this album apart is Maury's ability to infuse each piece with an emotional depth that is both captivating and soul-stirring. Whether he's evoking a sense of longing in Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante défunte" or conjuring up images of rolling fields in Saint-Saëns' "Romance," Maury's artistry knows no bounds.

In a world where classical music can sometimes feel stuffy and inaccessible, "The Romantic French Horn" is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder of the power of music to connect us, to inspire us, and to move us in ways we never thought possible. Claude Maury and the Ricercar Academy have created a masterpiece that deserves to be heard by all.
