        A beacon of Horn playing. How many recordings is he on?

          .

          ...not just ‘Another’ but, as principal horn of the LSO 1955-68, probably the best-known French horn player of my earliest formative record collecting period, thus gaining more-or-less saintly status on account of such classics as the Britten Serenade with PP and BB conducting, Mahler/LSO/Solti, the Brahms Trio with Perlman and Ashkenazy and, of course, Mozart...







          R.I.P and thanks for all that fabulous playing...

                Sad news. Remembered with much affection as one of the fine musicians that made the LSO so memorable in the sixties.

                    In addition to his many recordings as a soloist and as an orchestral musician he also took up the baton and recorded with the LSO very good performances of Dvorak, Elgar and Wagner. RIP Barry

                      One of the obits says '50 recordings' (does Mozart's concertos count as 1 recording or 4?).

                      I only have a Mozart concertos LP, Joseph Haydn, and also Tuckwell's contribution to the great Zelenka Archiv LP set.

                        A real inspiration when I started learning the horn as a teenager

                          Very sad news. It's been a bad week regarding the loss people who I value - Sir Roger Scruton, Barry Tuckwell and Derek Fowlds, all within a short space of each other.

                          He is certainly one of the players that helped make the French Horn my favourite instrument. I think I have all Tuckwell's Mozart Horn Concerto performances (3 sets?), a double EMI CD of various horn concertos, Britten works and of course his contribution to The Sir Reginald Goodall Sadler's Wells Ring cycle that helped to make it, IMHO, the Primus inter pares of Ring recordings.

                          RIP Barry and thanks for your glorious music-making

                            R.I.P. Barry Tuckwell, a true inspiration to all horn players.
                            I will never forget playing 2nd horn to you on several occasions, and sometimes having the absolute privilege of accompanying you on the piano.
