A Musical Gift .......2005-11-27

I played beside Eric when I was out of college and he was in high school. The phenomenal player that I knew then has matured into a horn player with a gift that has to be heard to be believed. By the time the CD was over, I was shaking my head in disbelief.

WOW!!!.......2004-04-23

Eric Ruske's virtuosity is phenomenal! By the time "Carnival in Venice" was over I was speechless. I didn't think that french horn playing that I heard was possible. Yet Eric's talent is obvious in that he made the most difficult techniques seem easy to perform.

I recommend this CD VERY HIGHLY!!!

A light-hearted romp.......2001-12-04

"Virtuoso Music for Horn and Piano" is a light-hearted romp through hornist Eric Ruske's arrangements of mostly familiar pieces. The selections are designed to exploit Ruske's virtuosity and he takes full advantage of the opportunity. At least three of the selections are arrangements of trumpet showcases, Arban's well-known "Carneval of Venice" and Mendez's "Valse Suriano" and "Jota." Czerney composed his "Erste Fantasie" for violin. Liner notes indicate that only the Rossini and Saint-Saens pieces were originally written for horn.
Eric Ruske has established himself as a major horn soloist, and this album reinforces my opinion that he is one of the best hornists currently active. Pianist Pedja Muzuevic provides excellent accompaniment.
Why record an album of light classics for horn? To quote Mr. Ruske, because "[i]t felt so good when it was over."

Customer Reviews:

Poor by modern standards........2004-10-01

I agree with "Music Fan".

I'm sure Mr Morgan is a decent player but this recording does him no favours. The tone is un-focused and at times comes accross as un-melodic. What's with the breaks in the line in The Swan?? Changing octave mid-phrase is ridiculous. Many of the pieces simply don't stand up to scrutiny.

Through history there aren't many tuba players I'd want to hear play a recital; Fletcher, Bobo and Jacobs come to mind.

Consider what the most recent recording generation of tubists are putting out and it's another Solar System. Do yourself a favour and check out Mssrs Szentpali, Baadsvic, Sheridan and-so-on to see where the tuba's at these days.

One Of My Favorites.......1999-09-21

Kevin Morgan's great, and his choice of music is wonderful-recommended in the highest terms!

Spend your money on a "real" pro!!.......1999-03-23

Being a tubist myself, I am always on the look out for a good recorging. If you are in the mood for someone who knows how to push alot of valves in not a lot of time, then this CD is perfect for you. It is full of it! Granted, there are plentey of lyrical phrases which are played very nicely, but to give it the title "Virtouso," come on. You would be wise to spend your money on a Roger Bobo, or Sam Pilafian CD.
