Notes and Editorial Reviews

One Clear call is a dynamic album of newly commissioned works and arrangements recorded by tuba virtuoso Nick Etheridge. Included are pieces for brass, woodwind, strings, percussion and big band, providing a wonderful showcase for the evocative sound of this instrument. The CD features dramatic new works by Dave Powell and Ben Ellin, superb arrangements of Shostakovich and Mahler, and ends with a funky big band romp through some classic TV theme tunes. The recording sees performances from over forty of London's finest young musicians. Nick shows how the tuba can be expressive, virtuosic and fun, blending beautifully into any ensemble. This CD is an exciting new addition to the Brass Classics catalogue and will be released in September 2007.
