Paris mourns principal trumpet
mainThe conductor Fabien Gabel, himself a former trumpet player, has informed us of the death of his father Bernard Gabel, principal trumpet of the Paris Opéra from 1967 to 2002.
He also played regular solos for Karl Richter and Karl Münchinger.
Bernard Gabel was 77. May he rest in peace.
RIP Mr. Gabel. A fabulous trumpet player.
I didn’t realize that he was the trumpeter on K. Richter and Munchinger recordings, of which I am a big fan.
He was marvelous!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful recording.
