I can confirm, that Peter Damm played the solo on this record with the Gewandhaus from 1966. He confirmed that during a phone call just few minutes ago. He is working 6 hours a day on the computer to edit some pieces, but he does not practice any more with the horn. That´s like me. Over 40 years full time playing principal horn in a top class orchestra and playing many, many solo things & thousands of performances with the orchestra in opera & concert, well friends, that is enough. Even I did not cease playing completely, but have it reduced to play just with or for friends or in our "Muppet Show Orchestra", a full symphony of retired pros & amateurs, most of age. Quality is far from professional, but we enjoy. We have no ambition any more but play solo occasionally (me: Mozart 3 or Huebler). Simply, we have played to much. We have spent our entire life just for the playing. Now we try to live, finally, enjoy with the grandchild(s) & the family..
