Walter Hilgers

I can't believe it. I can't believe I haven't listened to him before. What an amazing player. He has the ideal sound i've had in my head all these years. He has quite possibly the cleanest largest tuba sound i've ever heard. I haven't heard any of his orchestral playing, and would very much like to do so. I know he plays in The Vienna Phil now, but dpes anyone have any recommended recordings wher I can hear him? I have some of the German Brass CD's and they blow my mind. Especially the Bach 2000 CD with the Toccata and Fugue, during which Mr. Hilgers and the bass trombonist destroyed my speakers. Any recording recommendatioons are very very much appreciated. Been doing this for years, and finally found my ideal sound. Its great, i'm re-invigorated, and look foprward to hearing more!
Many Thanks
