5.0 out of 5 stars Tuba Concerto, February 4, 1999

This review is from: Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5, etc. (Audio CD)

This is the definitive recording of the Vaughan-Williams Concerto. John Fletcher's playing is absolutely amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all brass players, August 26, 2002

"seangold" (Plano, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5, etc. (Audio CD)

The Tuba Concerto by Ralph Vaughn Williams has always been wonderful piece. This recording by John Fletcher gives this piece due credit. The amazing musicianship portrayed by John Fletcher really shows. His thick vibrant, tone sings from the orchestra.
The 5th symphony is also a good recording. I bought this CD for the tuba concerto, but after listening to the symphony, I went out and bought the rest of the Previn/LSO symphonies.

5.0 out of 5 stars And I was only interested in the last piece!, January 8, 2003

Valentine (Easthampton, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5, etc. (Audio CD)

Wow...will there ever be another genius like Ralph Vaughan Williams, savior of English tonality? And to think, I was only interested in the Tuba Concerto (which is the pinnacle of writing for the instrument!)!
