My Take
I have a soft spot for musicians who master the truly unforgiving instruments, and the horn sits near the top of that list. Neunecker built a major solo career on it, capped by the 2013 Frankfurter Musikpreis, which is no small feat in a field that rarely lets a horn player stand alone in the spotlight. What I admire just as much is that she became a professor and chose to pass that hard-won craft on to a new generation. She keeps her private life genuinely private and lets the playing speak, and there is something deeply trustworthy about an artist who simply lets the work do the talking.
