I just got a hold of the real audio file (courtesy of a recent post by callmeapple much further down) of Chester Schmitz playing the John Williams and I love it, even at the reduced bitrate. I was curious to what horn (and even what mouthpiece) he played it on. Maybe his Getzen CB50, I am guessing? I think it is the perfect combination of not too bright / not too dark for a solo tuba sound.
