En Foret is the best

"On the whole, all the recordings are excellent (particularly the Hindemith and the Franz Strauss), but, as stated in other entries, the En Foret is absolutely breath-taking. In my mind, a CD single of just this recording of the Bozza would be worth retail price, for this is the definitive recording. The way John Cerminaro traverses the stunning four octave range of this piece (with special emphasis on the pedal C that is amazing), takes apart the technical sections with the virtuosity of a smaller horn player and the solid sound of a Conn, and sails with phrasing that ties the piece together sets this recording apart from the others. By all means, do what I did: listen to the Tuckwell, listen to other recordings--then BUY the Cerminaro."

Blue CD...a must-have....John is the greatest!

"This is the best solo horn CD I've come across. Cerminaro's playing is amazing and versatile...from the Bozza to the Franz Strauss. It has plenty of the horn solo standards and some lesser known works. I also recommend John's recording of the Mozart Concerti."
