The Zeibekikos has been recorded a few times. Here are the ones I know of:

Steven Mead - Oration w/ Brass Band
David Childs - Metamorphosis w/ Orchestra
Alexandre Gagnaux - Euphonium in Sight w/ Orchestra

Of the three, Steve's recording is my favorite. You can get these at Tap Music.

Bob Childs has probably my favorite recording on this piece; on the album Premiere-Classical and Modern. He has done other recordings, which are also worth hearing, but this one was the best prepared. Also, it seems fitting to get a recording of him, since it was written for him.

I was lucky to be a member of the National Youth Brass Band of Wales which commissioned the Philip Wilby concerto , we gave the world premier performances under the baton of Howard Snell back in 1996 . It's amazing it's almost 10 years since it was written.
anyway back to recordings Steven Mead's is a fantastic interpretation.
