Biography
Well known and respected throughout
Scandinavia, Michelsen was admired as principal
horn of the Danish State Radio Symphony Orchestra,
and as a soloist, chamber musician, and
distinguished teacher.
Michelsen was one of the most loved chamber
musicians in Denmark. His outstanding technique
and flexibility over the whole range of the
instrument, combined with his brilliant
musicianship endeared him to many.
David Sternbach noted that Michelsen inspired
respect with "formidable technique, a
uniquely beautiful tone quality" and that
Michelsen played with a "grace and ease that
had to be seen to be appreciated."
He also developed his own "D" descant
horn and mouthpiece designs, and was a skilled
furniture maker.
Deceased Honorary IHS Member, Denmark.
