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.

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.

It's Floyd Cooley. It was recorded in the early 90s and reissued later on.

Definitely Floyd

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.
