Michael, Bill Caballero is a phenomenal player, and the Pittsburgh horn section is truly a first class section. I do not think that the current Chicago Symphony horn section goes purely for quantity of sound. That is truly a false stereotype. Being able to add edge to the sound is thought of as a color. The CSO horn section also is able to play one of the most fabulous pianissimos as a section. The time I spent studying with Dale Clevenger gave me a great appreciation of what it means to be able to play with a vast array of colors in one's sound palette, and to play with a legato that is smooth as silk.
