Four American Sonatas for French Horn [CD]

Four American Sonatas for French Horn includes the premiere recording of a new sonata by favorite LDS composer Crawford Gates. Laurence Lowe is a "first-call" musician for film score and concert orchestra recording dates, and his talent shines as he plays these four American sonatas. The particularly demanding Gates piece, a stunning artistic achievement by itself, is worth the price of the CD.
