Have heard the RPO and Mr McShane live back in 97. They played Fountains of Rome and Mahler 5 with Gatti. I have to say it was very impressive to listen to, particularly the tuba and 1st Trumpet who were both fantastic - defintely NYPO or Chicago standard.
Chris is a nice, unassuming fellow too - I enjoyed speaking to him. I subsequently bought a CD of Mahler 5 with Gatti which was recorded after their tour. This is very good,although some of Gatti's tempi are a bit eccentric. Look out for the RPO recordings of this vintage (1990s) Ironically, Owen Slade who was mistakenly mentioned by a previous post, is NOW the tubist for the RPO, having joined this year ! Chris McShane has now joined the BBC Scottish Symphony. They have released a fine set of NIELSEN SYMPHONIES with
OSMO VANSKA.
