I have recently come across 3 very interesting LP's.
1. Rich Matteson-Harvey Phillips Tubajazz Consort
2. London/Previn playing Berlioz Overtures...(Corsaire, Benvenuto Cellini, Romain Carnival, Les Francs-Juges, and Beatrice et Benedict)
3. Very Rare recording of the Hoffnung Music Festival Concert in London. It has a "Sub-Contrabass Tuba, a Contrabass Serpent, and DENNIS BRAIN playing a Mozart concerto with a mouthpiece and a garden hose. The sub-contrabass tuba is the famous gigantic tuba in Guiness book of Records. The Mozart "Hosepipe" concerto with Brain is amazing.
If anyone has any interesting information or history of any of these recordings let me know. I may consider selling them, I haven't decided yet.
