Legendary, revered horn player who starred in the Cleveland Orchestra during Szell's heyday... his recording of the Strauss horn concerto is beyond compare

RIP

RIP indeed.  A great player -- when I think of many of Szell's best recordings, the brass *always* stands out.....

Magnificent performance indeed. I also love, fanatically, the Bloom-led horn quartet in the second Menuetto of the Szell performance of Mozart's Divertimento K.131. The only personal connection I have with Bloom is once upon a time having a horn playing girlfriend from Cleveland who was a student of Bloom's. Never met the man unfortunately but saw and heard him often in concert.

Yup, along with Robert Marcellus on clarinet and Marc Lifschey and later John Mack on oboe ... the "jewels of the orchestra" Szell called them
