Siegfried’s Calling.
She is labelled only as Superwoman in the notes but if any of the comments can be believed, she is/was assistant principal at the Stockholm Opera.
Update [26/01/08] Operabouffe kindly informs that Superwoman is also known as Annamia Erikson and she is indeed co-principal at the Royal Opera Stockholm.
One of Miss Mussel’s favourite things about YouTube is the absolutely inane comments people leave. Here’s a few of the 575 people felt inclined to submit.
“ive been playing french horn for 3 years now. im even sceduled to play in disney. this is AMAZING,WONDERFUL,UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME, etc” Good to know your sked for the upcoming months. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
This is obviously from the horn nerd that no one talks to at breaks because he is always droning on about his 37 mouthpieces.
“But if she was really good, she’d play it on natural horn… Just kidding, natural horns sound like ass on the 11th partial and the 7th partial “A” with the hand half-stopped. This was really good. What a great sound… She did kind of biff the C in the long arpeggio up to the last long high G, but I’ll forgive that because it’s really freaking hard to do.”
“this is the solo part of “Siegfried Fly” or something like it… It was wrote by Wagner…” Sigh.
And, for the obligatory little bit of crazy:
“really like the high B at the end. [it's a C, so this guy is, like, you know, joking and stuff]
I’m from mars, and on OUR planet, (Mars), we call it a high B, whether you play the horn, glecknaphone, or the clarinetizo. We only have three instruments here. That’s why I watch youtube.”
