Peter Wahrhaftig, San Francisco Ballet Orchestra tubist, has done some recording with the Symphony. Don't know if it was he that did any of the works listed above.

Re: San Francisco Symphony
Those recordings are absolute gems, most of the SFSO/Blomstedt stuff is just about up there with CSO/Solti. I think the 6th Sym has the big tuba solo, but the disk with syms 2/3 is incredible.
Another stunning recording of that same group/vintage/run is the Hindemith Mathis der Maler and and Symphonic Metamorphosis. The Carmina Burana disk is really good too.

Re: San Francisco Symphony
It's Floyd Cooley. It was recorded in the early 90s and reissued later on.

Re: San Francisco Symphony
Peter Wahrhaftig told me that Floyd borrowed his (Peter's) Holton 345 for the Nielsen recordings. Floyd used to own that Holton, and I loved playing on that horn when I took lessons with Floyd back in 1974 - 75. Peter uses a PT-6 in Bay Brass.
