Cerminaro entered the NY Phil without an audition as assistant
principal while still at Juilliard in 1969. When Kuyper (the new
Associate to replace Chambers) did not pass his one year probation,
Kuyper's and Cerminaro's contracts were switched. When Singer retired
a few years later Cerminaro was made principal. Cerminaro was
Chamber's favorite student of that era. When Cerminaro fell in love
with his Paxman Hi F horn which he started playing in 1975 for the
Schumann Koncertstuck, he was forced out by Chambers and the section
players who were there since the Chambers era.

It is not him on the Walter CSO recordings. It is more likely one of
the Principals of the LA Phil or Vinny DeRosa
