I bought this record in 1962 (thanks Columbia Record Club!). I had been playing the horn for three years and remember thinking, “so this is what it’s supposed to sound like.” That concept of horn sound has never left me.
Gone are the days of blood, sweat and SOUND!!!! Nobody sounds like that anymore and it's a shame. I still play an 8D with a B1 Giardinelli. What a sound!!! RIP Myron.
Very cool photo of a young Myron Bloom. Amazing musician, phenomenal sound. It really makes you wonder how the 8D can be so loathed these days. Of course, very few can make it sound like this...
Hi, I remember you coming into a rehearsal at Columbia university wind ensemble (maybe 6 years ago). You sound terrific!! I expect you're back in Brazil. I hope you are well.
I know for a fact that Mike did this with only one take in the afternoon of the 27th. Bob Marcellus recorded the Mozart in the morning. Also the recording of both the Stauss and the Mozart were for Epic Records (Columbia) I know this details because I was a protege of Bob's and a very close friend of Bob and his wife.
Bloom played the horn the way Casals played the cello. Each performed Beethoven op.17 and the similaritiy of their conceptions is remarkable. That a horn player of Bloom's unrivaled musical abilities never got to record even one of the Mozart concertos seems nearly like a conspiracy. Does anyone know why this seemingly inevitable opportunity never came his way?

There is a recording of Bloom playing Mozart's 4th horn concerto that exists
RIP Mr Bloom.
