Georges Barboteu (b. 1924) was born in Algeria where his father was horn professor at the Conservatoire d'Algiers. Beginning in 1948 he played in the French Orchestre National, Opéra-comique and Paris Opera. From 1953 until 1961 Barboteu was a member of the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire. In 1967 he became principal horn of the Orchestre de Paris until 1989.

He succeeded Jean Devémy as horn professor at the Paris Conservatoire from 1969 to 1989.

Barboteu’s legacy from the 1960’s includes pioneering recordings of many Baroque concerti as well as Schumann’s Konzertstűck which will be reissued on Sotone Historic Recordings.

Frederic Duvernoy (1765 - 1838) was one the great French hand horn virtuosi. The Concerto No. 5 represents his "cor mixte" style of playing keeping to the middle register of the F horn.
