Notes
This recording was conceived many years ago as a collection of songs and lullabies to play for our children when they were little ones. By now the children have grown quite a bit, as has the scope of the project, but the theme remains the same - a compilation of some of my favorite lyrical music for horn and piano. The music is of varied origins, mostly vocal, some instrumental, but all written in a singing style. The pieces fall into three categories: first, music originally composed for horn and piano; second, transcriptions already in existence; and third, new transcriptions I made specifically for this recording. With lyricism as the common thread, I selected repertoire that I felt was as varied as possible, representing different nationalities, musical eras and styles. I think each piece has it's own story to tell. I hope you enjoy it! Review from 'American Record Guide': 'Tod Bowermaster is third horn of the St. Louis Symphony; James Howsmon is professor of instrumental accompanying at Oberlin Conservatory. Here they present about 15 songs, some familiar melodies, and several lyrical horn pieces. Since great songs have great melodies, brass players like to play them. Unless a song is played with maximum feeling, though, it can leave a listener flat. That is certainly not the case here. Bowermaster plays with all the feeling the songs need, and his beautiful tone - concentrated, consistent in all registers, often warmed with subtle vibrato - is wonderful. Howsmon is the consummate collaborator. Among the well-known songs are Schubert's 'An die Musik' and 'Standchen', Schumann's 'Widmung', two of Brahms's Serious Songs, Purcell's 'I Attempt from Love's Sickness to Fly', and Strauss's 'Allerseelen'. Familiar melodies include a Bach Siciliano, Saint-Saens's 'Swan', and the Andante from Mendelssohn's Symphony 5. And from the solo horn literature are Gliere's Nocturne, Intermezzo, and Romance; and the Romance by Saint-Saens. A long program, but all quite beautiful. ' Review from 'The Horn Call': ' Tod Bowermaster, third horn in the St. Louis Symphony, has put together a beautiful CD of lyrical tunes for horn and piano. This recording is a sheer listening pleasure. Bowermaster plays with elegant and graceful lyricism and a gorgeous, golden tone. In the liner notes, Bowermaster describes his children as inspiration, and his influences include the great singers Dame Janet Baker and Arlene Auger. The original works for horn and piano include three Gliere pieces, wherein one can really enjoy Bowermaster's mastery of the instrument and breadth of sound and dynamic range. Many of the arrangements will be familiar to hornists: selections arranged by Froydis Ree Wekre, Milan Yancich, and Kazimierz Machala. Additionally, Tod Bowermaster has transcribed and arranged seven of the songs. One hopes he plans to publish them. This unique and lovely CD would be a great addition to any song lover's collection.' From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Symphony French Hornist finds beauty in art songs BY SARAH BRYAN MILLER • Post-Dispatch 'The Horn in Song.' Tod Bowermaster, horn; James Howsmon, piano. (Available at the Powell Symphony Hall boutique...) Another member of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra has produced a solo CD: SLSO third horn Tod Bowermaster's 'The Horn in Song' is now available. The contents are exactly what the title promises: 23 works - transcriptions of great art songs - performed on French horn. Bowermaster plays with a consistently beautiful, singing tone that conveys the deeper meanings of the songs as well as their music. 'What I've hoped is that it's something people will enjoy listening to, plain and simple,' Bowermaster says. Bowermaster, an accomplished soprano in his childhood, considered the project for a long time before finally taking it on. 'I grew up singing before I played the horn,' he says. 'I've always enjoyed the lyrical aspect of it. Years ago, my wife, Cynthia, was after me to record lullabies for our

- y***i (304)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis is an excellent seller. The US mail had a nervous breakdown and was sending this poor CD back and forth between the west and east coasts. After about ten days I asked for a refund and almostly immediately he obliged. Now that it has finally arrived I will pay for it again. Never had this problem before. This was a good price for a hard to find disc (new. not used) and I am delighted to have it.Lorraine Hunt Lieberson BACH Cantatas 82 & 199 SMITH Emmanuel NEW SEALED (#234368122487)
