Joseph Haydn, zijn broer Michael Haydn, Mozart en Beethoven schreven helaas geen muziek voor de fraaie combinatie van orgel en hoorn. Maar dat was geen probleem voor Geert Bierling, de Rotterdamse stasbeiaardier en stadsorganist en Herman Jeurissen, solohoornist bij het Residentie Orkest. Ze bewerkten muziek van de Weense componisten voor orgel en hoorn en speelden er zelf met behulp van het koororgel in de Rotterdamse Laurenskerk de CD Vienna Concerto mee vol. De aanvulling op de muziekhistorie, die opent met het hoornconcert in D van Michael Haydn klinkt aangenaam en gevarieerd, ook vanwege de solostukken. De door Jeurissen virtuoos bespeelde hoorns zijn natuurlijke uitbreidingen van het orgel, niets anders dan een gemechaniseerd compleet blaasorkest. Bierling excelleert ook in de speelse Fantasie KV 397 van Mozart. Dé verrassing is de toegift: het Adagio cantabile uit de Sonate Pathétique van Beethoven. Had hij zijn pianomuziek maar eens zó kunnen horen!

Herman Jeurissen horn Netherlands Chamber Orchestra / Roy Goodman.
Mozart Concertos for Horn and Orchestra - D, K412/K386b (with two versions of Rondo); E flat, K417; E flat, K447; E flat, K495. Concerto movement for Horn and Orchestra in E, KAnh98a/K494a (cpted. Jeurissen). Fragment for Horn and Orchestra in E flat, K370b/K371 (recons. Jeurissen). Listen to sample

Herman Jeurissen combines intelligent scholarship and splendid technical artistry in attactive versions of the incomplete concertos and stylish accounts of the familiar ones to give immensely satisfying performances.
Nicolas Rast BBC Music Review Sept. 1997

Herman Jeurissen has placed in cogent order the jigsaw of fragments (cut up as memorabilia by Mozart’s son!) which forms the Allegro, K370b, possibly intended by the composer to precede the Rondo, K371. Here, Jeurissen’s reconstruction captures nicely the fun, athletic daring and slight awkwardnesses of the early experimental concerto, possibly originally written for the horn player of the contemporary Idomeneo. The Rondo is orchestrated very much with an ear to this opera, notably in some delightful wind writing. Jeurissen’s completion of K494a continues the long-limbed arpeggio-based movement and leisured sequential mode of the broad introductory ritornello which indicates that Mozart possibly bit off more than his player Joseph Leutgeb would have been able to chew. Whatever the composer’s reason for leaving the work incomplete, Jeurissen obliges with a hypothetical but engagingly dark minor-key development, lit by little Figaro-esque modulations and fleeting prophecies of the K495 Concerto. All of this is enticing enough. But the disc ends with an alternative K412 Rondo overlaid with the saucy comments (in Italian, and it’s just as well ...) which Mozart directed at the unfortunate Leutgeb, here irresistibly declaimed by Giorgio Mereu.
HF The Gramophone August 1997

A "must" for anyone closely studying these works.
The Horn Call Oct. 1997

Mozart macht Spass und das dem Solisten ebenso wie dem Zuhörer. Solist und Orchester holen alles aus der Musik raus, mindestens! Lehrreich, erfrischend, amüsant!
