Horn celebrities? Here a few more in line with great music:
The German tenor, Fritz Wunderlich (1930-1966), studied horn at the Freiburg Music Academy from 1950 to 1955. I always thought that his amazing breath control and beautiful phrasing came from his horn playing. Just listen to his recordings of "Il mio tesoro" or "Ich baue ganz" to hear what I mean. When the American soprano Evelyn Lear (b.1926) was a student at Hunter College, NYU and Juilliard she studied piano, composition, horn, percussion and voice. It was always a treat to hear her in recital, in opera or in concert with orchestra. A great Bluebeard's Castle with husband Thomas Stewart comes to mind as well as an elegant Berg "Sieben Fruehe Lieder".
