Damn right! The Hindemith sounds great on a big tuba. I'm sure both the Bobo and Pokorny recordings were done using CC tubas.

The one thing against the Hindemith is the piano part. Everytime I perform it, the piano player needs 2-3 months to work it out and get it sounding good. Anything less than that, and there's a lot of faking going on (that's their admission too). It's just SO difficult for them. So, if you can find a good pianist with lots of patience, go for the Hindemith.
