CD Reviews

Tuba like you've never heard!

Isaac Andrew | USA | 01/08/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is a great piece of soloistic instrumental playing, nevermind that it is on the tuba! My old review was 4 stars, but after hearing Oystein again live and relistening to the album I did a new review with 5 stars. Oystein Baadsvik shows great musicianship and versatility on this CD. The selections range from extreme virtuosity and technical facility to lush melodic lyricism. The fact that he is backed by a string orchestra on many pieces may well further place this project in the "landmark" category. I may find Oystein's vibrato a hair fast at times but, my personal preferences aside, he is an incredible musician as demonstrated in "Tuba Carnival." Anyone looking for a fantastic solo tuba album will not be disappointed."

Dazzling!

"Having had a stint at brass instruments myself, including the Tuba I am absolutely dazzled by this record.

His technique is phenomenal.

This could be a very good gift idea for someone who thinks he has heard it all.
