There are three decades of performing experience behind this refreshingly different program of horn classics from France.
SCHUMANN: Adagio and Allegro for horn and piano; Märchenbilder; Fantasiestücke for clarinet and piano; Märchenerzählungen; Drei Romanzen; Violin Sonata No. 1 – The Nash Ensemble – Hyperion

John Lee Hooker – Cook With The Hook: Live In 1974 is an unpolished gem.
