Lowell Greer on Natural Horn
Beautiful photography of a period instrument master.
Back in April 2009, Lowell Greer held a master class and played a concert at the University of Virginia with the University of Virginia Baroque Orchestra.
Photographer John Edwin Mason was present and took some pictures in a morning rehearsal in Old Cabell Hall. The photographs, posted on Mr. Mason’s blog, feature both Mr. Greer and U of V faculty member Ian Zook on natural horns with terminal crooks.
Mr. Greer’s Mozart: Horn Concertos remain one of my favorite Mozart collections to this day — with or without valves.
I highly recommend it.
