[Hornlist] Re: Berlin Hornists
To clarify the exchange a bit, I was able to contact Eric Borninkhof, the proprietor of Rimskys-Horns, through the contact form on the site and he has agreed to sell me a copy, payable by PayPal. If you want to write to him directly about this CD, you can do it at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] He may have more copies for sale (and you can also pre-order an interesting looking Wagneriana disc by the Capricorno Horn Ensemble and get copies of two CDs by the Vienna Horns). On the other hand, you may prefer to wait for Alexander to finish their efforts to get a distributor for the disc or try Ken Pope [EMAIL PROTECTED], who seems to have some copies that he will be putting on sale (and save a bit on international postage).

You'll have to search the CD out yourself. It is produced by Gebr. Alexander (you've heard of them?) and I can't recall how I obtained my copy. If anyone is after the BPO hornists' Opera CD, try the following Dutch site: http://www.rimskys-horns.com/eng/nieuws.html Peter, I agree it's a terrific CD, but just for us foreigners, how is the NY Sun regarded in journalistic circles? I haven't stumbled over such a sloppily written review in quite awhile.

Bill, This information is incredibly helpful. After my posting, I spent (way too much) time looking for a location that offered the CD or any information about it and came up with zilch. Berliner Philharmoniker, Gebr. Alexander and all of my usual horn/import CD sources (Ulrich Koebl, TAP, Paxman, Osmun, jpc.de) were all of no avail. This was particularly frustrating since I realized that I had confused this Berlin Horn ensemble CD with the Vienna Horns, Art of Brass CD that is also on the Rimsky-Horns site and saw that I didn't have a copy of it yet (will remedy that ASAP). Tuesday morning, I took a second look at the NY Sun site and there was reader comment to the effect that Nordlingers's comment that it shouldn't be too hard to find a copy on the internet was wishful thinking. I followed up with a more detailed me too that also pointed out that Stefan Dohr and not Dorn is lead on the CD. There was no response to this and it doesn't seem that they saw fit to post my comments (at least not as of a minute ago). Another comment now appears from someone else pleading for information, but no response from Nordlinger or the editors. The Sun seems to be an on-line only publication (though I am not completely sure that is the reason that I have never noticed it at a newsstand). The writing of their music critics (Fred Kirshnit seems to be their other regular classical guy) stands out for being contrary to whatever the general consensus is in other papers. Quality is pretty much what you saw - no particular care seems to be given to facts, spellings or other editorial details; more of a blog feel than real writing. Someone I know mails me a lot of the reviews from it since I complained to him once that I often wonder if the writer of a review I have read in the Times was at the same concert I attended or played. The reviews certainly are different, but mostly are slightly irritating and occasionally worth reading. I do have to add that it turns out that one of their pop music writers, Will Friedwald, is an old friend of mine and a recognized authority on Sinatra and the vocal tradition he represents, though he doesn't write as a concert reviewer for the Sun. Read at your own risk, is my advice.
