I have met Owen Farr at the IBBSS (and many other tenor horn players as well) where he is the lead tutor for the horn section (flugelhorn and tenor). AFAIK, he is generally acknowledged as the best technical tenor horn player in the world at this time. He has finger and tongue speed that is amazing. I have seen Richard Marshall, David Childs, David Thornton, and Brett Baker literally bow down to Owen at evening recitals in the "I am not worthy" supplicant position. He is beyond amazing. Of course he also has a nice lyrical style, but most of his solo work is virtuosic in the classic violin/cornet solo style.
