Recordist's notes

This week end a huge gathering of 200 alp-horn players is happening at the feet of Vercors mountains. In the morning, before meeting all together, they give a concert by little groups in the villages around. Here’s one of them during the saturday market in Monestier de Clermont. Ce week end un grand rassemblement européen de sonneurs de cors des alpes a été organisé à Gresse en Vercors. Avant de se retrouver aux pied des pistes pour le grand concert final, chaque groupe s’en va sonner dans les villages alentours. Six d’entre eux sont présents le dimanche matin sur le marché de Monestier de Clermont. Binaural dynamic recording.
