Exploring
the fascinating sounds of tuba with percussion ensemble, this is Velvet Brown’s
third Crystal CD. She is quickly becoming one of the best-known tuba players in
the world. A protégé of the legendary Roger Bobo, she is an international
soloist and associate professor of tuba and euphonium at Pennsylvania State
University.
This is a
spectacular album with some invigorating sounds. It is rare to hear such fine
tuba playing and rarer still to hear the tuba with such stimulating percussion,
played by some of the best players anywhere.
