Mike Forbes's first solo recording featuring all seven works for tuba by Dutch-born, German composer, Jan Koetsier. This CD pits the solo tuba against varying accompanimental forces to include: brass choir, horn quartet, soprano duet, violin duet, piano, pipe organ, and string orchestra.
"'Don Giovanni's Höllenfahrt' (1999) is particularly dramatic and spectacular, Forbes given virtuoso passages and playing with passion, accompaniment played by a brass nonet. Noticeable among the outstanding brass players are trumpeter John Aley, tenor trombonist Mark Hetzler, and bass trombonist Kevin Rigotti. The rest of the members of the fine ensemble are trumpeters Amy Schendel, Amy Gilreath, and Edward Hong; horn player Rick Lee; and trombonists Stephen Parsons and Todd Schendel… Mike Forbes, a member of Sotto Voce tuba-euphonium quartet…is an outstanding tubist with a solid, colorful tone, terrific technical skills, and dramatic flair. This is a valuable tuba recording."
