What a Year This Has Been!

| May 15, 2010

What a year this has been! I don’t know where to start. Perhaps the best place to begin is after my 2-week vacation in Tuscany back in August. I took two solid weeks off the horn. My chops needed it. But of course, those of you who are “in the trenches” know exactly what I’m […]

| November 14, 2009

It has been a while since I have written anything on this blog space. For those of you who check my blogs regularly, I apologize. I am in the process of changing my webmaster. Suffice it to say, things weren’t working out so well with the original one. Plus, I have been terribly busy. And […]

TIME TO PASS IT ON! Looking for a teaching position.

| August 10, 2009

I would like to announce my interest in becoming a professor of horn and-or composition. I know it sounds a bit funny to put it like that. I have received a few very good offers throughout the past ten years or so, and I never accepted because I simply was not ready to teach. But […]

I`ve just sent in the final texts for the liner notes to Albany Records. That`s the name of the label on which my newest CD will be released. The CD itself was sent off to be remastered onto SACD, or surround sound, about a week ago. If all goes according to plan, this fantastic CD […]

A Thrilling Month with the AHQ

| June 14, 2009

Well, that was it then. The last, almost holy notes of Bach`s “Air-on-the-G-String” rang for nearly 5 seconds in the old, Gothic, pilgrimage church of Bleidenberg-Oberfell, high up overlooking the Mosel river valley. It was a sold-out audience that demanded three encores. We only had two in the folders on the stands. And we really […]

Prague Spring Once Again!

| May 26, 2009

Back in May of 1987, I found myself in the finals of the horn division of the Prague Spring International Music Competition. It had been a grueling week up until then. I did not have the option of bringing my own pianist, so I was obligated to use the staff accompanist. I had a one-hour […]
