This is a little askew, BUT, I have always felt that the best represented tuba player on recordings was the tuba player on the great Klemperer recordings with the Philharmonia, and later, New Philharmonia after Walter Legge jumped ship. If Mr. Jenkins was the tuba player for 37 years, obviously that would be 1970. Can anyone tell me who directly proceded him and played on the wonderful Wagner and Bruckner 4 and 6 that Klemperer recorded? As I don't have the recordings in front of me (and EMI is great with dates), these may very well have been Mr. Jenkins, if not, I would love to know who the tuba player was on those recordings. Absolutley, hands down, the best recorded tuba player of all times. Thanks in advance.

The Philharmonia recording of Prokofiev's "Ivan the Terrible" with Neeme Jarvi is phenomenal. Would that be Mr. Jenkins? Any idea who the other player was? Or what instruments they were using? Bob Hughes sounds amazing on bass trombone as usual.

John Wilson possibly? I think that was the name listed in Gerald Sloan's tome.

My guess is it would be. John Jenkins usually used a big Czech BBb (I think Cerveny) for Prokofiev, so I expect he was playing that.

Chris McShane of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra ( & former RPO ) was the Philharmonia's No.1 choice for this job, but has decided to stay in Glasgow with the BBC SSO and has withdrawn.

Wow. What a loss for the Philharmonia. What a boon for the BBC Scottish Symphony!

The news from London is that the Philharmonia have now offered the job to Peter Smith.
