I had the pleasure of hearing Ed's recital last night at UT Arlington. He was outstandingly good; smooth as silk. Good programming, too.
Morceau de Concert.............................Camille St. Seans, trans. by Alex Cauthen
Concertino for Tuba.............................Jan Koetsier
Scenes from Childhood..........................Robert Schumann, trans. by Jim Self
"Moses" Variations on a Theme by Rossini.....Paganni, trans. Sinder - Wallace
To Be or Not To Be..............................Tomasi
Rondo (from the Concerto)....................Capuzzi, trans. by Jim Self (I think)
The Rondo was performed with brass sextet, great to hear this live finally . It was also great to see the Tomasi performed again, the trombone mute changes are simply unbelievable (I always enjoy watching the trombones sweat over that). Of course, Ed played beautifully on everything. YFB-822
And I have to mention two more things. Dennis Bubert, Ed's ally on bass trombone in the FW Symphony sounded terrific, absolutely first class (that's a dynamic duo if there ever was one). And, hey, that transcription of the Morceau was totally stunning (one might even say genius-caliber if modesty didn't intrude).
