5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the serious orchestral tuba player!!!, January 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Orchestral Excerpts for Tuba (Audio CD)

Mr. Pokorny has created a superior CD of orchestral tuba parts. His spoken comments are insightful and his playing is top notch. As a prospective orchestral tuba player, I have found this CD extremely helpful in my preparation for orchestral auditions. This is a must for the serious tuba player!!!

AMAZING
i did not purchase this from amazon, but rather on a recent trip to new york city, to see the new york philharmonic, after which i got
inspired to be better and then saw this cd, and bought it.
Wow, this is worth every cent! hearing how it "should" sound is immensely helpfull, and the advice with each track is outstanding.
A must-have for anyone considering a serious career in tuba!

This review is from: Orchestral Excerpts for Tuba (Audio CD)

I have not purchased this recording at all yet, but rather listened to it on a website you can listen to whole albums free and buy them of course. but this Cd is awesome and will soon be added to my collection. I love listening to Ultra Loud playing like this, it's loud and some is blasted through. he tears everything up in this recording and it's great! I try my best to play to this standard which a lot of people have no clue a standard is because it's so wrong to play with Gusto like Pokorny here does. this is a great Cd for any tuba player in my opinion even though not every player can play this loud ever Tuba player that goes beyond high school playing should give this a shot because it's great!
