After hearing Eric's stories it reminded what I heard Francis Orval say many years ago at the Southeast horn workshop. " A good teacher is both a good and bad influence on the student." And then he proceeded to prove it only a few hours later at dinner. I was probably 16 attending the workshop with my teacher Gayle Chesebro. So here I am tagging along with her to the restaurant where we sit down with the guest horn teachers Francis Orval and Meir Rimon. They are chatting as we check out the menu. Then out of nowhere come Phil Farkas and he joins the table. Food is ordered and they continue talking. Then the drinks arrive at the table. I get my soda while the rest start working on a bottle of wine. A few moments later Francis Orval reaches over and takes my soda and then pushes his untouched glass of wine in front of me. I gave a surprised look around the table then took a few sips. They laughed and went on chatting. I took little sips of the wine while we waited for our food. As it arrived they got more wine. I had probably sipped down about a 1/4 of the wine over that time. I was enjoying listening to the conversation when Meir Rimon reaches over and tops off my glass. They all laughed and we started eating. Since there was only wine to drink at the table I kept working on it as we ate. I began to notice that everytime I drank about a 1/4 of the glass one of them would refill it. It became a kind of game for them. Finally toward the end of our meal Phil Farkas reaches over and fills my glass to the brim. At that point I had probably had 1 glass of wine total. This big pour would make it near 2. They continued to talk and drink till we finished. We parted and went back to campus for the evening master class. I didn't have anything prepared to play so I watched and took it all in. Afterwards I was wanting to play so I wandered around and found a small group playing Fripperys. We had parts for 8 but there were only 3 of us. We had been swapping parts and I was playing 1st now. We just started playing when Phil walking in to join us. He said I could hear you needed more parts filled and he said more were coming join in. Now Francis and Meir sit down along with a few others. I handed the first horn part to Phil and he told me to keep it and to get us started.We all played for about and hour or so with Phil keeping me on 1st horn the whole time. I had no idea who these people were in the horn world at that time. We were just having great fun playing the horn. Thank you Sarah for bringing us together in such wonderful ways
Discovered all this via vienna horns....this has been like 50 christmas's all at once. Thanks Sarah for making an old man happy! 65 years old and got my horns out...can still play! Fair!! Lol
The best hangout yet - a true legend !! I heard him at the Philharmonie do Shostakovich 10 with Jansons and the Berliners and it was truly wonderful, having heard the hangout it puts his performance in perspective. What a smashing bloke !
What a fantastic teacher! -poised, clear, profound and what's more...full of fun. Thank you!
Thank you! it's so nice to have such a wonderful and calm interview.
I was forced to play french horn when I was an 11 year old child. I had to study it for a couple of years, but (at least for me) it was obvious that I did not have any talent at all, so I really hated it. 10 or 15 years ago I heard Eric in the Vienna Musikverein playing the solo in Brahm's 3th (there were also Jansons and Lang Lang). I was so surprised when I realized that he played not only marvellously but also in an absolutely relaxed way. Since then I do not love the french horn but sometimes I really like it. These videos help me to understand why people enjoy horn playing.
Incredible, one of my favourite Hangouts yet! Some amazing information there that I'd never even considered.
Oh my gosh, I'm just now finding this one. Fantastic hangout! Loved the Yoga session in the middle. May do this in the middle of practice every day now!
Love the hangouts. I first heard Eric live at a BHS event in the early 80's. I'll never forget that performance of Schumann's Adagio and Allegro. It must have been 1983, because I heard soon after about his ill-fated trip to the dentist! So pleased his talent wasn't lost to the horn world.
Wonderful interview ! I'm so sorry we didn't meet while I was in Europe playing in Nederland. All the Best, Ron Applegate
That warm-up could very well be from Mel Culbertson, an old friend of mine from Los Angeles, playing for many years in the Orquestra Nacional de France In Paris...
That warm-up exercise is possibly from the trombone pedagog Emory Remington. Here is a pdf version www.hornmatters.com/2008/06/exercise-buddha-lee/ transcribed by Bruce Hembd. Frøydis Ree Wekre's 2005 book Thoughts on Playing the Horn Well has it on p. 14 too.
This guy reminds me of Jerry/Terry/Gerry. In a good way. Aw, geez...
Roger Bobo warm up exercise I think
I have that mouthpiece. And love it.
Can anyone tell me the name of the introduction song? Please, thank you. :)

Le Basque by Marin Marais
Roger Bobo, I believe, wrote that exercise.
Do you know that warmup exercise?
just founf it, its from bobo and its also in the froydis book on page 14
Rather clear; Sarah hated the 'positions'. Loosen-up, really. Thanks Eric for being so giving and genuine.
