The chamber music repertoire for horn may not be vast, but it can boast of exceptional works that employ the instrument in myriad intriguing ways as so elegantly demonstrated by Richard King on this recording. King, principal horn of the Cleveland Orchestra since 1997, has been featured numerous times as soloist with Cleveland as well as with the Tokyo Symphony and Auckland Philharmonia. A graduate of Curtis, King was a member of the Center City Brass Quintet. He is on the faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Music. King is joined on this disc by his colleagues from the Cleveland Orchestra and Cleveland Institute.

Review:
"Partnering with numerous local colleagues, the Cleveland Orchestra's principal horn here speaks his piece about the major works of chamber music for his instrument. What gorgeous, probing statements [Richard King] makes." (Cleveland.com)

"Probably most people who don't happen to play the horn haven't bothered to collect CDs that feature the instrument. This recording--which shows every indication of becoming a classic--should be an exception. ..Obviously a labor of love, the disc is also a testament to the spirit of collaboration."
