Julian Baker has enjoyed a long career as an orchestral and chamber musician that began as principal horn of the Hallé Orchestra under Sir John Barbirolli at the age of twenty. In 1977, after seven years in the BBC Symphony Orchestra, he was appointed co-principal in the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, where he remained until 1996. He was a professor at the Royal College of Music for over thirty-five years and has taught students from all over the world.
Playing The Horn: Technique and Beyond is a must-read for horn players and non-horn players alike. Drawing on insights from a long and distinguished career as a performer and teacher, Julian Baker offers readers a comprehensive approach to all technical and musical aspects in horn playing, as a means to the ultimate goal of confident, eloquent communication. The importance of this extraordinary and transcendental book cannot be overstated. Tony Halstead Julian Baker's articulate, engaging prose style is a constant delight. There is a tangible feeling of authority and an overall 'rightness' derived from life-long experience. Particularly enamouring are the various quotations from literary sources that he places at the head of each proceeding chapter, their relevance becoming increasingly clear as one continues to read.
