"It is not often that one has the chance to hear one of the world's great principal hornists play many of the prominent orchestral solos up close. This CD provides a wonderful opportunity to listen to the technical and interpretational qualities that are needed to play in a top notch professional orchestra!"
A Horn Player's Essential!

"This cd is perfect for the aspiring horn player. Not only does the horn-god Krehbiel magnificently play these famous excerpts, he talks about them and the feelings behind the melodies. He tries to convey in words as well as by example, an interpretation of how they can be played. This cd is a wondrous compilation of the basic symphonic horn repertoire and should accompany any horn player practicing for auditions. Buy this cd and you won't be sorry!"

"The consumer who rated this CD with one star was obviously not paying attention when he or she ordered it. Orchestral "excerpts"? Hello!?! This is a CD for the instruction and enjoyment of the horn player. It is _not_ a CD of full symphonies in which the horns just happen to be playing. Don't blame the CD or its author for your ignorance!"

"This CD does not deserve 1 star!!! If you are a horn player who cares about any kind of music expression at all, you will like this CD. He simply tells you how to feel the music. This CD is especially useful to horn players that will be auditioning for a University, Orchestra, or music conservatory. I highly recommend this CD for any horn player who CARES ABOUT MUSIC EXPRESSION. I still do not see how it is humanly possible to give a CD with so much music interpretation one star!!! The nerve!"
