Beskrivelse
After the Second World War, Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote some of his most experimental works. These include the eighth symphony, which includes every percussion instrument the composer knew, a Romance for mouth organ, and this concerto for bass tuba and orchestra. He discovered agility and melodic potential in an instrument few others had suspected, and created a work of lasting value. This is an arrangement for tuba and piano, and the solo tuba part is also included on a separate insert.
