Denabian handles the virtuosic melodies with apparent ease,
no mean feat on a natural (i.e. valveless) instrument.

PARIS
1804
PARIS 1804
Paris 1804 takes us to France at the beginning of the 19th century, when Paris is the beating heart of the cultural scene and artists come from all over Europe.
Among these artists we find Cherubini, Dauprat, and Reicha, who by crossing their career paths at the Paris Conservatory have given birth to the works included in this recording.
Denabian proves himself to be a true virtuoso, handling the technical demands of a natural horn with apparent ease.

WHEN A MUSICIAN IS ALSO A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MAKER
Decades of experience as a concert performer, a deep knowledge of organology, and a remarkable mastery of historical construction techniques enable Alessandro to make replicas of period horns with sound characteristics and responses comparable to those of the original instruments.
