Bobissimo!!!

Yes, this is the man - indeed!

He is the first prime musician (at the level of Rostropovich or Horowitz) for the tuba.

before Bobo there were great tubists. After - there are great musicians.

This review is from: Bobissimo! The Best of Roger Bobo (Audio CD)

It's Roger Bobo, what more can be said. This is one of the finest albums of tuba music recorded by one the world's greatest tuba players. You're doing a disservice to yourself by not owning this.
