We welcome a new advertiser at Horn Matters, David Griffin.
His new recording is enjoying brisk sales and will be receiving a review in the November/December Fanfare magazine. Here is a sneak peek:
Griffin handles the special difficulties of the low range with the assurance of, well, a good fourth-horn player, but he also soars (or sky-rockets, as the case may be) into the instrument’s stratosphere with the ease of a Dennis Brain. He maintains a lovely, pure sound evenly throughout a range of over three octaves; his middle range in particular has a haunting beauty (the instrument is a Lewis, with an Alexander flare bell).
He also demonstrates the agility of a flute or a clarinet and never gives the impression anything is in the least difficult for him. But most importantly, among prominent horn players today, Griffin is one of the most innately musical I know. This quality elevates the disc to the realm of interest for all music lovers, not just horn players.
