Don't know about the recording, but this may be of interest, as may be the different spelling of his last name - http://www.musicweb.uk.net/classrev/2004/Jan04/Look_both_ways.htm There is, tragically, hardly any information available about a truly remarkable musician, Frederick Vogelgesang, who achieved his particular Moonwalk in the Pre-Google Age (1960s). On page 70 of Michael Compton's French Horn Discography (Greenwood Press 1986), a plumbing loop is even extracted to modulate him to "Vogelsang". Studying at The Curtis Institute before WWII, he was a very gifted student of violin, horn, piano and conducting. In 1964, he used multiple tracks to record himself playing the Brahms Trio for Violin, Horn and Piano, Opus 40. Originally released on Lance Productions FV3B, this remarkable, forward-looking man and his excellent interpretation are falling into oblivion. I find this a disgrace. How many people could do such a thing so ahead of the technology we take for granted today? I remember hearing his interpretation on the radio here in Switzerland in the 1980s and being totally amazed at this outstanding performer. He spent his musical career as an assistant conductor of many Broadway shows and as a member of the New York City Opera, although he did make other recordings accompanying his violin playing on the piano.
