Tarjáni was a wonderful horn player and a master teacher. I had the pleasure of sitting in on some of his classes at the Liszt Academy, as well as translating for him at a masterclass he gave in Sydney, Australia. He was kind enough to invite me to his home when I visited Budapest. He played with a light and delicate sound with just a hint of vibrato. He was a kind and generous man who will be missed by those who had the privilege to know him. My condolences to his family. RIP Feri (tisztelt tanár úr).
Any recordings of his performances available?
