OK. I'd like to hear Pat Sheridan play the following pieces:
The Liberation of Sisyphus - Stevens
Excerpts (or all!) of the Cello Suites - Bach
Variations on 'Rule Britannia' - Hartman (not a great piece I know, but I like it). I'd like to hear it at a speed where it's all there AND all still clear - ie. not STUPID-fast!
Your Tiny Hand is Frozen - Puccini
Nessun Dorma
Bassoon Concerti - Mozart, Hummel, Vivaldi (in Bb; he prob wrote a dozen of these)
Plus the 'standard' Tuba Concerto repertoire
Wonder if he'll do any of 'em?
I enjoyed the 'Storyteller' CD but not quite as much as his other offerings. The Concertos by Wilhelm and Barnes are well and good, but surely a disk with standard Tuba repertoire would ensure maximum intrest and sales from Tuba-Punters?? Perhaps the Lollipops-esque series sold better than a 'Standard lit' CD would but that would have to be of more general interest than the 'Storyteller' CD?? I'm not an expert however!
Anybody else have ANY pieces they'd like to hear by ANY Tubist?? Since we're in fantasy mode you could have August Helleberg performing the John Williams for instance! : )
