A beautiful, critically acclaimed recording of the most outstanding horn repertoire by Jan Bach. Featuring Jon Boen, one of the world’s most exceptionally gifted horn players.
Boen, Rachleff, and Symphony II (Chicago Philharmonic) were fleet and agile, dashing through Bach’s upbeat tangles with sophisticated flair. Boen’s tone was clear and mellow, capable of blending elegantly into the orchestral texture as well as striking out in confident solo voice. – Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun–Times
The solo horn gets a bravura workout, dancing around the orchestra’s darting figuration and pounding, percussion-driven rhythms. The virtuosic Boen and Symphony II made the concerto a real audience-grabber…” –John Von Rhein, Chicago Tribune
