5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the serious orchestral tuba player!!!, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

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 man is an awesome musician. The spoken commentary is a bit bland, but still informative. Plus he totally tears these excerpts apart and it is fun to try to play along.
