NFB Horn Quartet:
Hornithology |
 Hornithology
includes the premiere recording of Gunther Schuller’s
Five Pieces for Five Horns and includes the
world-renowned and enduringly brilliant master technician,
Barry Tuckwell.
The NFB Horn Quartet, comprised of
accomplished musicians who first met as students of the
the legendary John Barrows, “sets a new standard to
which all others should strive” (John Williams, Boston
Pops Orchestra).
The late Sir Michael Tippett is widely
regarded as one of England's finest composers. Sonata
for Four Horns is an exuberant tour de force that
also creates, at times, a languid, mysterious ambiance.
