All musicians and horn players must listen very carefully to Myron. He speaks in a deeply honest and very instructive way about music and horn playing and is one of the last living legends of the instrument--- Ciao, mio amici di corni e di musici, John Cerminaro
Mr. Bloom, I had the honor to study with you for one year at Oberlin, and it was the best horn experience of my life. I still have "your" mouthpiece case. So great to see you still kicking around. You are so right about Szell and the Cleveland.
When I was in High School I was in awe of Myron Bloom. I had bought an LP album and he played a piece by Schubert "Auf Dem Strom" (On the River). Such beautiful playing and singing by Benita Valente but it was originally written for vocal of Tenor. I was also playing on a Conn 8D, and this recording gave me inspiration. Also on it was Brahms Horn Trio. This recording was later re-released on CD- Sony Essential Classics . Hopefully it is still available.
Talking of Herbert von Karajan just walking of the stage. It was said that he never made reference to players by their name. Except for Dennis brain. That tells one all one needs to know, about Herbert!
As for Mr. Bloom's vibrato, it reminds me very much of the very lightly colored vibrato of one of his idols, Pablo Casals. To my ears, Mr. Bloom took more away from Casals than any of the cellists who worked with him: tremendous energy and great beauty by turns. One of the great musicians of our time!

So many legends all in one place.
From one legend about another.
I just sadly heard from a friend that Mr. Bloom passed away today. So many great accomplishments, such a great artist. Rest in peace Myron.

Mr Bloom was my aunt's husband when I was a kid. He always had great stories and I loved to listen to him practice. He was my favorite uncle
How lucky you are! How long was he in Paris and did he enjoy his stay here? He was hired to shake things up a bit here musically.

May this legendary soul rest in peace
Thanks to James Stagiliano if he caused Myron Bloom to move over to that glorious 8D.

The clip of Konzertstück no longer seems to be around. If somebody has the link, please share.
What's the biography she keeps mentioning?
