Peter Damm is a distinguished horn player whose mastery of the instrument has cemented his reputation in the classical music world. Born in Germany in 1937, Damm developed an affinity for the French horn at an early age and pursued a career that would see him become a leading figure among horn players. His tenure with the Staatskapelle Dresden as principal hornist, a position he held for nearly four decades, underlined his profound musicality and technical prowess. Damm's artistry extended beyond the orchestra pit, as he also engaged in teaching, passing on his knowledge and skill to a new generation of musicians.

Having an extensive discography, Damm's recordings cover a wide variety of works from different periods, with a particular emphasis on pieces for the horn. His albums, such as "Horn Concertos," "Quiet Music For Quiet Times," "Mozart: Wind Concertos," and "Strauss: Horn Concertos Nos. 1 & 2" showcase his exceptional ability to deliver performances with both vigor and nuanced interpretation. His contribution to the preservation and evolution of horn repertoire has been significant, with albums like "Romantic Horn Concertos" and "Französische Musik für Horn und Klavier" exploring both beloved and lesser-known compositions. Peter Damm's dedication to his craft continues to inspire listeners and fellow musicians around the globe.
