Wheels of Life

Post by Benjamp »

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the shameless plug again, but this is such a great forum I can't resist. I'm pleased to offer my new CD, "Wheels of Life." The disc contains a recording of the Vaughan Williams Concerto with piano- I'm not sure of another recording in print with piano accompaniment, and Jun Okada's performance is outstanding. The disc also contains Bozza-Concertino, Butterworth-Partita, Schumann-Fantasiestucke, Penderecki- Capriccio, John Stevens-Triumph of the Demon Gods, Bitsch- Intermezzo, and several others. The title comes from Wendy Lee's "Wheels of Life: In Reminiscence," which is the closing piece on the CD.

The disc also features artwork by Fayetteville graphic designer Sonia Gutierrez.

Many thanks to those of you who've bought the CD!

Sound clips and the CD are available at www.benpierce.com.

Thanks!

Ben, you have put out the best tuba CD I've heard in a long time. You have also put out the best euphonium CD I've heard in a long time. Lucky for us, it's all on the same disc. The musicianship and execution of idea are second to none.
Congrats on what will be considered a landmark recording.
