Sorry Jen, That is a third horn solo at the opening of Roman Carnival and that was Thomas Jostlein on third. Erik Ralske acting associate principal played first on the overture and the Ibert Concerto.

Re: [Hornlist] NY Phil opening night 9/17/08
Hi Valerie, I can't say for sure, but I may have an answer for you. The NY Phil's web site has a section on member of the orchestra which also has pictures. The horn section can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/4l6p89 There are pictures of each of the ones listed. The one for myers certainly doesn't look like he has lost weight. Erik Ralske, acting associate principal or Thomas Jöstlein, Assistant principal might be the one you saw. I have found nothing on in a rather cursory search of the web that would indicate who played.

Re: [Hornlist] NY Phil opening night 9/17/08
I watched it, too, and think I remember Myers only played on the Tchaikovsky. Unfortunately, I did not carry away the same impressions as Valerie - I thought the overture was rather lifeless, and the big horn opening of the Tchaik was less than stellar (couple of horn goofs, and with intonation not quite locked in). Concerts are always much better in person, though... The NYTimes reviewer noted that they had just come off tour, and so may have been worn out.

Arkiv Music just sent out a notice that they are selling a DVD of the NY Phils concert in the PRK. We've beaten that concert about as much as its worth, but I can't help but wonder if they last moment to the Dvorak is edited or as played? ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
