Written for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the London Symphony Orchestra, Vaughan Williams’s Tuba Concerto was premiered, at the anniversary concert in 1954, by the orchestra’s principal tubist, Philip Catelinet. After the premiere the possibility of creating a version for tenor tuba (euphonium) was initiated by Catelinet, Vaughan Williams approved, but its commercial viability was questioned. Over six decades later, with the approval of OUP and the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust, an edition for tenor tuba and orchestra has been realised for this recording by David Childs and the orchestrator Rodney Newton.
The other three concertos on this disc were all commissioned by David Childs.
‘It’s a disc that will appeal not only to brass players, but to music lovers throughout the world’ – Brass Band World
‘It’s easy to enjoy David Child’s warm honeyed tones as his euphonium dances through this enjoyable selection of British concertos’ – BBC Music
‘Childs’s playing is wonderful, the extended range and physical agility defying credibility’ – TheArtsDesk
