A few years ago a french horn friend of mine introduced me to a VHS of Dennis Brain. Have any of you seen any of his videos or listened to his playing? On this particular video, Dennis Brain had played some sort of fantastic music on a valve-less french horn-type instrument (like a fox horn, etc.) which I believe (it's been about 3 years now) included Flight of the Bumblebee! Anyhow, if there are any french horn folks out there who have yet to hear Mr. Brain's phenomenal playing, I HIGHLY urge you all to look into it! Coming from a flute player's perspective, it's amazing! -S

Dennis Brain pretty much shaped french horn playing today! While I highly doubt there's any horn players out there who haven't heard of him, it's great that other instruments actually appreciate what a great musician he was.
He switched to an Alexander Bb horn actually - it was in the car when he crashed but I think it was Paxmans that restored it. Its on display either in RCM or RAM in London, I can't remember which.
