Yes, I misspelled his name as "Vogelsang" as I was not sure that his real name was "Vogelgesang". I have the original LP somewhere in my archive + should have a cassette. As far as I remember, his Brahms Trio was not reissued as CD. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carlberg Jones Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 2:11 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: RE: [Hornlist] Re: Going over to the dark side.horn to cello At 8:56 AM -0400 4/10/04, Steven Slaff wrote: >Do you know where Vogelsang's performance of the Brahms trio may be >purchased?

Don't know about the recording, but this may be of interest, as may be the different spelling of his last name - http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2004/Jan04/Look_both_ways.htm There is, tragically, hardly any information available about a truly remarkable musician, Frederick Vogelgesang, who achieved his particular Moonwalk in the Pre-Google Age (1960s). On page 70 of Michael Compton's French Horn Discography (Greenwood Press 1986), a plumbing loop is even extracted to modulate him to "Vogelsang". Studying at The Curtis Institute before WWII, he was a very gifted student of violin, horn, piano and conducting. In 1964, he used multiple tracks to record himself playing the Brahms Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano, Opus 40. Originally released on Lance Productions FV3B, this remarkable, forward-looking man and his excellent interpretation are falling into oblivion. I find this a disgrace. How many people could do such a thing so ahead of the technology we take for granted today? I remember hearing his interpretation on the radio here in Switzerland in the 1980s and being totally amazed at this outstanding performer. He spent his musical career as an assistant conductor of many Broadway shows and as a member of the New York City Opera, although he did make other recordings accompanying his violin playing on the piano.

Hans and list, Do you know where Vogelsang's performance of the Brahms trio may be purchased? I did a search on Amazon.com and on Google but wasn't able to find it anywhere.

RE: [Hornlist] Re: Going over to the dark side.....horn to cello
His name was Vogelsang and the recording is excellent. He played all three parts very good. = Gretchen's post reminded me, has anyone else heard a recording of the Brahms trio played by (wish I could remember his name). He was a fine piano player and played violin in the Philadelphia Orchestra but always wanted to play the horn. So later in life, he took up the horn and got a job playing horn in the Denver Symphony. On the recording he plays all 3 parts on the Brahms. It's been many years since I heard it (only once) but I remember it being darn good! - Steve Mumford ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans.pizka%40t-online.de ___ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

Don't know who he is, but when you find him smack him in the mouth and jump on his fingers. I hate people like that! :-) Lawrence (who can only manage to do one thing and that not very well.)
