Matthew Taylor’s imaginative Horn Concerto No.2 channels the styles of Haydn and Arnold, featuring a singing allegro, a rollicking finale, and a delicate intermezzo with shades of Brahms. The final movement, an animated conversation piece for horn, oboe, and cor Anglais, promises to entertain with its playful, Laurel-and-Hardy-esque sign-off.
