Music for Tuba — Øystein Baadsvik

Øystein Baadsvik’s programme pairs Madsen’s Tuba Sonata with sonatas by Paul Hindemith and pianist Niklas Sivelöv, William Kraft’s Encounters II and Morten Gaathaug’s Sonata Concertante with brass quintet. Simax reproduces an American Record Guide assessment calling it a “spectacular recording” that established Baadsvik among the leading tuba soloists. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
