No, the player in question is not Myron Bloom.
While Myron is in his early 80's, I have to agree with Orlando, he
certainly does not look his age.
Also, not only did he do a great job on the Mahler 4th last summer,
just a few months before that, he did a beautiful performance of the
Brahms Trio on a chamber music series.
I feel very honored to have been asked by Myron to teach his studio
last fall and some of this semester while he is on sabbatical--
-traveling and doing other things.
One of the qualities that amazes me about Myron is his (still !!)
incredible and genuine passion for music and performing.
And yes, Hans, there is more to life than just horn, but sometimes
there are individuals who are creative enough to do many different
things--at any age.
One of the things I tell my students is " the people who say it can't
be done should never interrupt the people doing it."
