OK, OK,
For several months now, I have been following hornlist affairs from afar
and found myself, for some reason, with little to add to anything and when
I did occasionally think of something to say, I'd be swamped with NHR
business (new job, family, etc.) and never get around to formulating a
message.
But now,
I have in my possession a DVD entitled "Anna Russell : the (first) farewell
concert" (VAI DVD 4208). On it is her deconstruction of the Ring Cycle
("I'm not making this up, you know"), but even more horn related is the
track "Wind instruments I have known" which features her playing the horn
(though playing might not be the most applicable term). The performance
took place on Nov. 7, 1984 at the Baltimore Museum of Art and has the look
of a PBS production.
And, yes, it is funny.
Later,
Peter Hirsch
