Mason Jones (1919-2009) a rejoint le Philadelphia Orchestra en 1938 en tant que troisième cor, avant d’en devenir le cor solo l’année suivante. Pendant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, il a servi comme cor solo de la Marine Band (Washington DC). En 1946, il a retrouvé son poste de cor solo au Philadelphia Orchestra qu’il a conservé jusqu’à sa retraite en 1978. Ces enregistrements des concertos de Mozart mettent en évidence son exceptionnel talent face notamment aux solistes britanniques de l’époque: Dennis Brain, Barry Tuckwell et Alan Civil.

Une particularité: il joue le Rondo du Concerto n°1 K.412 sur un cor naturel (un ‘Waldhorn’ sans pistons).

Mason Jones – 1957

Mason Jones (1919-2009) joined the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1938 as third horn, before becoming principal horn the following year. During World War II, he served as principal horn of the Marine Band (Washington DC). In 1946 he returned to the Philadelphia Orchestra as principal horn, a position he held until his retirement in 1978. These recordings of the Mozart concertos put forward his exceptional talent, especially if we compare him with the British soloists of the time: Dennis Brain, Barry Tuckwell and Alan Civil.

A particularity: he plays the Rondo of the Concerto n°1 K.412 on a natural horn (a valveless ‘Waldhorn’).

Amazing music! Thank You for this pleasure. And… if it would be possible to offer Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, that will be great as well 🙂

thank you so much.
I had the Lp decades ago…so glad to hear this version again, for the outstanding Mason of course and for the efficient orchestral support led by Ormandy

Yes, the partnership between Mason Jones and Eugene Ormandy works very well, and this is one of the best performances of these concertos.
Mason was very happy in the Philadelphia Orchestra where he remained during all his career.
