Lots to choose from, here's a couple of my favs:

Mark Fisher (Euphish)

Steve Mead (with the Keystone Wind Ensemble & Jack Stamp)

There's also a recording of Robin Taylor doing it with a brass band that's pretty cool, but I can't remember the album. Someone will have to help me out with this one.....

Hope that helps!!!

The Fantasia has been recorded quite a lot, here's the list I could come up with:

Bob Childs - PRESTIGE (piano)
Mark Fisher - EUFISH (piano)
Steven Mead - WORLD OF THE EUPHONIUM, VOL. 2 (piano)
Tormod Flaten - FLIGHT (piano)
Steven Mead - HOLST,VAUGHAN WILLIAMS, JACOBS (wind band)
Robin Taylor - EUPHONIUM (brass band)
Hugo Verweij - EUPHONICA (piano)

If anyone else has any, add them to the resource guide. I think The BEST resource for finding euphonium recordings is DAVE WERDEN'S website. Bookmark this for future references:

One of the most beautiful pieces for Euphonium.

We (Malcolm and I) are working on doing it with full organ in the February recital at St. Mary's.

The University of North Texas Wind Symphony recorded the solo on their Gordon Jacob Composer's Collection CD.

There are some odd/wrong notes in some recordings. I'm afraid I don't know why these discrepancies have arisen.
