		Philip Farkas’s legendary career as a musician, teacher and author spans more than a half-century.
		As a youngster, he discovered the horn seren-dipitously, as it proved to be a more compact alternative to the tuba, which would not fit through the door of the streetcar that took him to school.
		Farkas left the Chicago Symphony in 1960 to begin a distinguished teaching career at the Indiana University, Bloomington.

		The interviews and narrations are still very insightful as to how Farkas himself got started and why he loved to play and teach, but there wasn't much advice as far as actual horn playing goes.
		Farkas performs 4 of Gallay's Unmeasured Preludes, which offer great insight as to his interpretation of some very difficult etudes.
		This is a great companion to The Art of Horn Playing written by Farkas in his middle years and the biography by Nancy Jordan Fako "Philip Farkas, a happy worthwhile life".

		Philip Farkas speaks in a way that I love-- he offers frank advice and talks to the reader in a voice that clearly states that he is a fellow hornist, a friend helping a friend.
		But he omitted mention of the levator and depressor muscles, the ones that bare the teeth, without whose participation it is impossible to form an aperture, so essential to tone and response.

		On the other hand, the "Finale" from the Horn Concerto K. 447, recorded in 1950, has plenty of excitement and good humor thanks to the excellent Philip Farkas and Rafael Kubelik, but it suffers from limited sound, disfigured by distortion and narrow dynamic range.
		While Rita Streich sings the aria "Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio" from The Marriage of Figaro with wonderful freshness and wit, it's odd to hear the "Catalog Aria" from Don Giovanni sung in English--no matter how cleverly and effectively Donald Gramm achieves the task.
