Toccata and Fugue for Solo Horn
Who needs an organ?
Yes, that’s right… the famous Bach organ piece performed on horn with no backup or safety net. Frank Lloyd gives an amazing performance with technical flourish and virtuosic multiphonic skills. His organ pedal notes absolutely snarl, just like a reedy pipe organ stop!
Recorded live at the 2008 International Horn Society Symposium in Denver, Colorado.
