The very sad news is that Nick Busch died yesterday evening aged only 73.

Nick had been taken to hospital a few days before with heart problems. Nick's wife Maggie had visited him only a short time before and he was awake and chatting away.

I am sure that the horn world will be shocked that such a giant, such a powerhouse could prove to be mortal.

This is indeed very sad news.

I was first aware of Nick when many years ago I sat behind the orchestra at the RFH and he played first in Bruckner 4 - ah, that opening solo! What a piece - and what a player!

Very sad news and a wonderful interview by Chris Parkes - beautifully written and informative on so many levels.

Interesting comments on a 'woofy woofy' sound against the 'Old English' sound...
