Unrecorded works for tuba

[Mudman]

There is another wonderful Lebedev work, the Concert Allegro, that is written for Bass Trombone or Tuba and has to my knowledge only been recorded once (by Randall Hawes, Bass Trombonist of Detroit Symphony on his amazing CD entitled "Melodrama"). Its a lushly romantic work that works well on both instruments. It should get more notice than it does!

Paul Pollard also recorded the Lebedev "Concert Allegro" on his solo CD.

Randy Hawes' "Melodrama" is one of the most musical bass-trombone CD's avaialbe.

Has anybody recorded Lebedev #2 on tuba?

[Steve Marcus]

I would like to see a recording made with an academic purpose rather than a "look at how well I play" recording

Just as Czerny exercises have been recorded by and for pianists (issued by Musical Heritage Society), perhaps you could record some tuba etudes, such as Blazhevich, Tyrell, Kopprasch, etc.

Rafael Mendez recorded some of the Arban Characteristic Etudes on trumpet. You could present these on tuba.

It's 9 years since this original post. Has anyone taken up the gauntlet and recorded Kopprasch, Tyrell, etc. on tuba?

Dave:

I would like to put a plug in for the Frackenpohl, "Concertino for Tuba and Strings". I know of no recording of this piece.

Ellerbys concerto and warren Bensons Helix would be welcome

Since a 9 year old thread has been unearthed, I thought it only fitting to link the thread
of the resulting CD from the OP (David Zerkel) viewtopic.php?t=24040&p=205726" target="_blank" target="_blank
For other members, like myself, that weren't around in 2007.

Hi Dave,

Glad to hear of this. I have studied and performed about 10 of the Herber L Clarke Trumpet solos and if you could add one or two of them to your list that would be great. They are all very entertaining to listen to and if you think out of the box on them you can take anyone of them to a new level.

To be honest, recording them was a goal of mine and you can live my dream for me.

Just my thoughts,

Tom

Hi All,

I was unaware that this thread had been resurrected!

While I am flattered that some think that I might be the guy to take this on, I say in complete honesty that there are much better players than I out there to make this happen. Dozens.

The mind is there, but the body less willing.

Cheers!
Dave

Well Dave, for what it's worth, your "Tuba Helper" CD is an amazing & wonderful thing!
I listen to it regularly in my car. Thanks for the beautiful music!
