Anyone who has the opportunity should go and hear Chester some time during the rest of the BSO's subscription series, and if he's playing at Tanglewood, then go out there and hear him play. I spent a few summers at Tanglewood, and I'd have to say that I've never heard a more beautiful sound live. I remember one time when he played Petrouchka...it was loud, and it was amazing. His recording of the Jabba the Hutt is amazing. He played a different horn almost every time that I saw him, it seems, but it didn't change a thing. He sounded awesome.
