Nate-

At the time of the recording, the bass trombonist was Keith McNichol and the tubist was Philip Hore. Mr. Hore is still with the orchestra (now known as Royal Scottish Orchestra). Mr. McNichol left the RSNO to forst join the Philharmonia Orchestra of London and then the Royal Opera of Covent Garden where he performs currently.

I too am a BIG fan of their recordings from the 80's and 90's and can recommend scads of them; some very familiar works and some rather obscure but great nonetheless:

You can click the link below to get you started.

Here are some suggestions:


Dvorak: Sym. No. 9 (with Neeme Jarvi conducting)

Kalinnikov: Sym. No. 1 (with Jarvi) unreal bass trombone!

Khatchaturian: Sym. No. 2 (with Jarvi)

Mahler: Syms. Nos. 3, 5 & 6 (with Jarvi)

Nielsen: Any of the symphonies (with Bryden Thomson)

Prokofiev: Anything available (with Jarvi)--its all fantastic! Especially Alexander Nevsky/Scythian Suite or the Romeo & Juliet Suites 1-3

Shostakovich: Syms. Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 & 10 (with Jarvi)(couplings include Ballet Suites as well)

Strauss: Tone Poems (with Jarvi)-- especially Death and Transfiguration and Alpine Symphony

Walton: Sym. No. 1; Belshazzar's Feast - (Alexander Gibson conducting)

Music from Estonia-Volume 1 -- a real gem. check out the Raid Symphony No. 1!


This is enough to get you going, but there are tons more. Enjoy!
