Barry Tuckwell (after)
Like with Dennis Brain last week, this illustration was done in order to kill two birds with one stone – to learn some new computer skills and to make something fun for Horn Matters.
Today’s post is of world-famous horn soloist Barry Tuckwell (AC, OBE)
The project started with a somewhat infamous The Horn Call cover from over a dozen years ago.*
When published in May 1997, this particular The Horn Call issue featured Barry Tuckwell on the cover. In production of the issue however, the image was somehow turned around.
This reversal of fortune went to print – every May 1997 issue had a backwards image on the cover.
Mind you, if Mr. Tuckwell had posed without a French horn this may have gone completely unnoticed.
*The original image is used here without permission. That means that if the IHS would prefer that I not use their picture in this way, I would without hesitation take it down.
