...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...
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
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
The esteemed Australian horn player, who had an important international career, has died at the age of 88.
Condolences to his family.
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.
