From Richard:
RB: "This recording is a follow-up to my CD34 Natural Horn Music FOUND. This contains something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
I have had the Schubert and the Weber in my library for a long time, so they are "Something old" along with the Tcherepnin, which I have recorded before and the Herbert which I publish (see list of publishing).
My work is something new, but just about as "normal" as I ever get. My whole quartet is "Sort of Blue." That's it, except the Revere is a quintet for English horn solo with four horns. I am now using the breath-controlled instrument emulator call SWAM, which I used for the English horn sound. It is very convincing to me, because with the breath control, I can make the change in volume, length of notes, vibrato and shape just like a real English horn. It even has key clacking noises sometimes; I love it. I hope you do too.

6) We're lucky that Franz Schubert wrote something for hunting horns.
