[Zucchini]

Who the heck is Pip??????

IIRC Caravan fell in love with Pippa when she sent him an advance copy her puffing these wretched concertos...And he went on and on and on about it...

"Pip, old chap?"

Someone with great expectations, clearly.

This is the CFP version I have, also available in a later incarnation, though not listed in Presto's CFP catalogue, so presumably currently not readily available.
Briggs/RLPO/Kovacevich (aka Bishop!).
Good reviews when it first appeared I think.

Speaking of Hornists (I'd never heard that term before), the last two issues of the now recently defunct Quarterly Classic Recordings Quarterly featured a two part series on Aubrey Brain. There are some not so Civil comments from his student Alan on his teaching abilities.

Why the horn Concert no.4? What about his great late work Fantasia & Fugue, K608?

When Alan Civil was commissioned to write an appreciation of the late Dennis Brain by HMV, he turned it into
a biographical narration of the achievements of the great Alan Civil.

Aubrey Brain created a style of musicianship and sound quality for a whole generation of British horn players - including Alan Civil.

Civil was a fine horn player, a great musical arranger and a talented cartoonist but as a man, he was not a fit person to lick Aubrey's boots.

Speaking of Hornists (I'd never heard that term before),

I'm sure you know some flutists though?

[Hornspieler]

Hmm... who is 'miles'?
Shouldn't his given name be graced by a capital 'M'?

A 'hornist' is a USA horn player.

Oh dear! Has there been a silent invasion of our orchestras by the Americans?

Violinists, Cellists, Flautists, Oboists, Clarinettists, Bassoonists, Trombonists, Harpists, Percussionists and Timpanists - and now Hornists!Thank goodness that we still have Trumpet Players - recruited from those wonderful brass bands which abound throughout the British Isles.

Trumpet Players

Don't you mean Trumpists?

(the spirit of Viz lives)

[LeMartinPecheur]

During an engaging survey Jonathan Freeman-Attwood, Principal of the Royal Academy of Music and himself a distinguished brass player, discovers an international Who's Who of hornists and a rich, sixty-year history of performance practice.

Good to know that the panel has already sat to decide what we should think of this programme!
