    A greatly underappreciated instrument in the hands of an immensely talented performer with an ensemble that does them justice. So glad I found this.

    That was tremendous. It takes a lot of practice to be able to play like that. I know because I played euphonium as well. Very impressive! Thanks for this beautiful music.
