外文名:Barry Tuckwell 别名:巴瑞·塔克维尔 国籍:澳大利亚 出生地:澳大利亚墨尔本 生日:1937-03-05 教育背景:Sydney Conservatorium of Music 简介:Barry Emmanuel Tuckwell AC, OBE (born 5 March 1931) is an Australian horn player who has spent most of his professional life in the United Kingdom and the United States. 荣誉记录:Tuckwell was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1965 and a Companion of the Order of Australia in 1992.[4] Among the many other awards he has received are an Honorary Doctor of Music from the University of Sydney, Fellow of the Royal College of Music, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, the George Peabody Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Music in America, the Andrew White Medal from Loyola College, the Harriet Cohen Memorial Award, the J. C. Williamson Award, and most recently, the Sir Bernard Heinze Award for outstanding contribution to music in Australia. He is also an honorary member of both the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. He was the first president of the International Horn Society and is currently honorary president of the British Horn Society and the patron of the Melbourne International Festival of Brass. He was a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity.[5] In 2007, Tuckwell received the JC Williamson Award for his life's work in the live performance industry. 早年经历:Barry Tuckwell was born on 5 March 1931 in Melbourne, son of Charles Tuckwell and his wife, Elizabeth (5 March is known by many as the Horn Duumvirate Date, as it was the birth date of both Tuckwell and Philip Farkas, perhaps the two most notable horn players ever). He has an older sister, Patricia, a violinist and fashion model widely known as Bambi. She married the photographer Athol Shmith and later George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. After studying the piano, organ and violin as a chorister at St Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney, Tuckwell was introduced to the horn at age 13 and was playing professionally within six months. He studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music under Alan Mann, one of Australia's most influential brass players. Tuckwell has said, "The horn chose me. Right from the beginning, it was something I knew I could do."[citation needed] Tuckwell relates an anecdote regarding his choice of instrument: sitting in a cafe one day with his sister Patricia, Charles Mackerras and a horn player from the local symphony, Patricia speculated on what Tuckwell's future in music might be. The horn player suggested, "Why not try the horn?" Tuckwell did so and within two years was playing in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.[1] With characteristic humour, when recounting this at the British Horn Society's festival in 2005, he turned to the audience and said, "One note a time, piece of cake!" The horn is often reckoned to be one of the most difficult orchestral instruments to master. Orchestral:At 15, he was appointed by Joseph Post as third horn with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. A year later, he joined the Sydney Symphony Orchestra under Eugene Goossens, where he remained for three and a half years before leaving for England. His first appointment in 1951 was with the Hallé Orchestra under Sir John Barbirolli.[3] After two years, he went to the Scottish National Orchestra under Karl Rankl and a year later to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under Charles Groves. In 1955, he was appointed first horn with the London Symphony Orchestra.[3] During his 13 years with the LSO, which is a co-operative orchestra run entirely by the players, he was elected to the Board of Directors and was Chairman of the Board for six years. The chief conductors during this time were Josef Krips, Pierre Monteux, István Kertész and André Previn. 独奏:He resigned from the orchestra in 1968 to pursue a career as a soloist and conductor. For the next thirty years, he carved out a career exclusively as soloist — one of the few horn virtuosos to have done so[citation needed], rather than combining occasional concert performances with an orchestral position or a teaching post. His last concert was with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in 1997. He is one of the most recorded horn soloists[citation needed], having made over 50 recordings. He has received three Grammy Award nominations. 室内乐:In 1962 he formed a trio with Brenton Langbein (violin) and Maureen Jones (piano) for a performance of the Horn Trio by Don Banks, which was commissioned by the Edinburgh Festival. The trio played together for many years, touring in Europe, Asia and Australia until the death of Brenton Langbein. They recorded the Banks Trio, the Brahms Trio, and Quatre Petites Pièces by Charles Koechlin for Tudor records. He formed a wind quintet in 1968, which also toured internationally.
