i am looking to increase my music collection, which is extremely small, only consisting of bobissimo, and gene pokorney's orchestral excerpts cd. i am looking for both solo and orchestral pieces, and am wondering what would be a good choice to get.

thanks

I really like David Zerkel's CD and here's a thread about it viewtopic.php?t=11048&highlight=david+zerkel, ------buying increases karma-------anything by Jon Sass is guarenteed to be killer although not in a sense of playing music that somebody else has written down before.
Good Luck.
Peace.

Oystein Baadsvik's Tuba Carnival is great.

What are you looking for ? This is going to be far less than a complete list, but all of these can be taken as references as to what tuba could sound like.

- exceptional examples of tuba playing as a part of an ensemble (i.e. what role itÂ´s supposed to play in every day and not-so-common situations):
+ Sam Pilafian, all the TravelinÂ´Light stuff.
+ Hans Theessink and Blue Groove "Call me", "Johnny and the Devil" and others (Jon Sass grooving and soloing)

- Great Brass Bands:
+ Black Dyke Mills Band "Blitz", "The Complete Champions"
+ Soli Deo Gloria "Stone Henge", "Of Men And Mountains"

- Brass ensembles:
+ Canadian Brass (of course), especially earlier recordings when the idea of fulltime brass quintet still was unique.
+ Philip Jones Brass Ensemble (Their baroque stuff is a classic of its own)
+ German Brass "Scheidt", "Around the World with G.B", "Bach 2000"

- Alpine type Polka music:
+ Wilfried RÃ¶sch und seine BÃ¶hmischen Freunde "Comeback"

- Tuba solo (With accompaniment):
+ Oistein Baadsvik "Tuba Carnival"
+ Walter Hilgers "Tubadour", "Tubaroque"
+ Floyd Cooley "A Schumann Fantasy"
+ Markus HÃ¶tzel/American & German Horn Ensemble "Variations"
+ Francois Thuillier "Place des Vosges" (Jazz for the open minded ear, and awesome to listen to).

- Tuba ensemble (4tet and more):
+ Sotto Voce "Viva Voce", "Consequences"
+ Gerhard MeinlÂ´s Tuba Sextet "Tuba - a six tuba musical romp"
+ Melton Tuba Quartet "Wonderful World", "Premiere"

- Tuba in orchestra:
Others should chime in here. I wouldnÂ´t know.

As I said, thereÂ´s tons of great people out there. I havenÂ´t had a chance to check out Roland ScentpaliÂ´s stuff, for example. He must be cool, too.

Orchestral recordings that I enjoy are as follows:

Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky, Fritz Reiner and Chicago Symphony Orchestra showcases Arnold Jacobs well. This has been remastered for CD. But, I do not remember the label.

Sibelius - Symphony # 2, Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic, you can hear Warren Deck at his best. Recorded on Teldec label.

Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra, Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra on the CBS, Great Performances label is a great example of Mr. Torchinsky's playing.

There's just TOO much out there to even really do justice by listing, but here's some of my favorites:

Mahler,Bruckner,Wagner,Berlioz,Bach,Stravinsky,Strauss,Prokofiev, Mussorgsky. Get the idea? You could go broke just buying these particular composers' CD's!:lol: As far as tuba CD's, you can knock out two birds with this one stone: Andre Previn/LSO: Ralph Vaughan Williams' Symphony No.5(?), The England of Elizabeth, and the Tuba Concerto. IMO, the best recording of the concerto played by John Fletcher. Good luck and have fun!!

Not to forget - MICHAEL LIND !
He's one of the most lyrical players in the world.
He can however also play very technically.
His version of Arban's Carneval of Venice is amazing.
Clear and exact like the cornet it's once written for.

In the jazz vein, I've been listening a lot to Bob Stewart's "Now and Then." Really fine.
