Notes & Reviews:

This disc presents a highly varied program centered on the combination of solo tuba and wind band. It covers a wide spectrum of styles, from the Concerto by Boris Diev (b. 1924) - a leading figure within the great Russian wind orchestra tradition - to Swedish composer Fredrik Hogberg's (b.1971) wisecracking and effect-laden Trolltuba, a re-telling of the folk tale Three Billy Goats Gruff. A highlight on the disc is tubaist/composer Baadsvik's own piece, the unique Fnugg Blue, a highly enjoyable showcase for various pioneering tuba techniques - including percussive effects and multiphonics.

"Bernstein's Prelude, Fugue and Riffs at last seems to have stood the test of time... Otherwise the disc is strictly for aficionados of performance rather than composition." - Gramophone
