Homage

Description

“In his warm and serene personality, all the essential qualities of the great interpretive artist blended in perfect harmony.” Dennis Brain’s life was cut short in 1957 when he was only 36, but he had already secured his reputation as the greatest horn player of the 20th century. He remains a model for his successors today. “Technical problems did not exist for him,” continued the obituary written by Walter Legge, legendary EMI producer and founder of the Philharmonia Orchestra. “Across the whole range of his instrument, he mastered intonation, legato, staccato, dynamics and, above all, expressiveness.” This 11-CD collection presents all his Warner recordings as a concerto soloist and chamber and ensemble player — including music composed with him in mind — and his most notable contributions to symphonic, choral and operatic works. He appears in several CD premieres — music by Handel, Strauss, Richard Arnell and Norman Forber Kay — and a 1953 recording now released for the first time: Vincent d’Indy’s wind septet Chanson et danses.
