My brothers birthday is coming up soon and I wanted to get him a good recording of Mahler 1 and the first horn part, yes he plays HORN not tuba. This is a 2 part question. 1. I need a few recommendations of good recordings, cd. The one I own myself is Royal Philharmonic Orch conducted by Yuri Simonov on the Platinum label. Its a cheap cd but the playing is surprisingly good. BTW anyone know who played tuba on this? If there is anything as good as NYP doing Mahler 5 on teldec I would definitely want it. 2. What’s the best store to order a full orchestral part from? I was thinking hickeys maybe.
Thanks,
David M.
