1st Brandenburg. We recorded it in January of 2002, and I see that I played "Die Frau ohne Schatten" the
night before the 1st session, and "Hansel un Gretel" an hour after, followed the next morning by the session
in which we recorded the dance suite which serves as the 4th movement. Ouch!!
The ornaments in the final trio were mostly written by my wife, Virginia Benz, and I worked on them to be
sure that they would be possible on Bach's horn (we played on modern instruments).
It's available in stores, as far as I know, but if you have trouble finding it, go to
www.orchestraofstlukes.org. It's our own production (the producer, Grammy-winner Adam Abeshouse, is also a
member of the Orchestra of St. Luke's), co-produced by Minnesota Public Radio, and it is "St. Luke's
Collection" SLC 0302.

Hi All,
Yesterday I heard a recorded performance of Brandenburg #1 from the St. Luke's Chamber Orchestra on the
radio. I was able to catch only the last movement but the horn playing was superb and the ornamentations
used were unusual (to me at least) and very interesting. Is anyone familiar with this recording? Do you
know who the hornists were? If it's someone on this list, please stand and be congratulated!
