Does anybody know where or if I can find a recording of Pokorny playing the Vaughan Williams Tuba Concerto on his Contrabass CC York? He played it in May of 2012. I've been looking for a good recording of the Williams on a Contrabass and I just can't seem to find one. Any help would be appreciated!

Any chance of putting these files somewhere else? "The Box" won't let me download them.

I have tried several different computers and even an old I-phone and have not yet found one that can't play those sound files. Perhaps someone who knows more about this stuff than I can tell us what the problem is. I know that there are experts among the TubeNet tribe...

It plays on my brand new desktop with Windows 10 . I think trying to use a older computer or mobile device isn't going to work. If it will help I can copy the recordings and put them up on SOUNDCLOUD.
Try this . If it works I'll put up the other two.

Plays fine, but I'd really like to be able to download it as well. Pretty sure you can change that setting in Soundcloud....

I was able to successfully download these using Chrome from an android tablet and and android phone.
They would not download from my Mac using Chrome or Safari or my Windows 7 PC using Chrome or Firefox.

Awesome, thanks! Gene is amazing.

Do you know if he was using the big CSO horn for this recording?
He is using the big CSO York.

Thank you very much for posting! I've been wanting to listen to this performance ever since I knew about it. The tone is amazing and really just.. omni present? I particularly enjoyed the cadenza. Gene's low range is absolutely amazing
