Recommended: Pierce Plays Bach
Posted: Fri Aug 16, 2013 7:08 pm
This is a 2009 recording by Ben Pierce, but I only recently got around to buying it and then finally listening to it, and I'm sorry I didn't do both sooner. Ben plays a variety of solo, 2-part and 3 part pieces, playing all parts on euphonium or tuba. Everything is played with tremendous musicality. I like all of Ben's recordings, but this one really stood out to me as it was great to hear Bach played so beautifully, particularly on a wind instrument, not to mention on low brass.
I bought my copy from Ben's website, but it is likely also available from other sources.
So just in case anyone else is dawdling for 4 years as I did before going this a listen, it's worth making the time. Now I REALLY gotta go practice...
