I am so pleased to find someone who shares my passion for transcriptions of the Bach Cello Suites. Although my reaction to hearing a hornist perform one of them was similar to yours, what really moved me to tears was hearing them performed repeatedly by high school bass clarinetists at a school music festival last year. Thanks for the best laugh I have had all month.

Orchestra releases CD with 11 silent tracks
The real Sound of Silence
The New Barton Silent Symphony Orchestra has released a CD containing 11 tracks of complete silence.
The tracks include a silent version of the classic Beastie Boys song Fight For Your Right To Party, the delicious Meditation On An Apple Pie, and the critically ignored Porn On Fast Forward.

Of course, a CD recording of this kind will not capture the fidelity, accuracy, and ambience of a vinyl recording. I still cherish my old LP (by Prof. IMG himself, I believe) of the Music Minus One recording of the Bach Cello Suites in the Wendell Hoss transcription. (With all the repeats. Unbelievable!) Not in the MMO catalogue any more, alas, but well worth the premium price you may pay if you can locate one on line or at a used record store.
gotta go,
