I am a huge fan of Øystein- I have toured with him in Europe for 3 months, been to loads of his workshops/masterclasses/concer
ts, and he is my biggest hero and inspiration, HOWEVER- I prefer Fletch's Czardas here... his triple tonguing is so much clearer defined that Øystein's.. it is just so British in sound quality, and I love it..
Fletcher wasn't 'one of the best', he WAS the best Tubist in England, probs the world in his time!

@kampori I agree with you, Fletcher was amazing and a sort of pioneer on tuba as well. Have a listen to his version of the Vaughan Williams Tuba Concerto; so far I prefer it to any I have heard but I don't think the whole thing is on YOUTUBE yet.

I like Oystein's performance of Czardas, but all in all John Fletcher is still a god.
i had a lesson with james gourlay. one of fletcher's students the other week and he spoke so highly of him as a player and now i see why. what a fantastic player. i can only imagine how well he played in ensemble settings

The mouthpiece he is playing on is a Dennis Wick (Often used by Eb tubas) at that time it was recorded :)
