Stefan Dohr, principal horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, popped up in the NY Phil’s vacant seat on Friday night.

From the NY Times review: ‘With the orchestra’s principal horn position currently vacant, Stefan Dohr, who fills that role for the Berlin Philharmonic, was a guest, to uneven effect. In his crucial part here, Dohr was steady, but the mellow solidity of his tone, shading into leadenness, didn’t seem quite in the same sound world as his colleagues.’
