Fantastic

It really doesn’t get any better than this. Tuckwell has always been a master of the French horn and these recordings provide further proof of that fact. I have many of his albums and this one is quickly becoming my favorite for his skillfull playing & interpretation. In addition, I like the baroque music on this disk in general.
