Well I don't know of any others, but did you know that David Guerrier, who the Maurice Andre competition at the age of 16, is the principal French Horn in the French National Orchestra? I'm told he frequently perfroms trumpet concerti on the first half of a program and then assumes his chair as principal horn for a monster 2nd half.

A French colleague of mine who knows him has also told me that Guerrier is also adept at the trombone and would one day like to perform the Hindemith Sonatas for horn, trumpet and trombone all in one concert.
