Oratorio Society of New York Note that although the program lists a "J. Berv" as "English Horn" soloist, it is believed this refers to French hornist Arthur (Isadore) Berv, who was known to be the principal horn of the New York Symphony Orchestra at this time, rather than to his younger brother Jack Berv (1908-1994), also a French hornist (no information could be found on a "J. Berv" that played oboe/ English horn). The "J." could be a misprint for "I.", as many accounts by contemporary musicians refer to him as Isadore at this time. choir and orchestra performance 1927-04-21T17:30:00
