Recommended Orchestral Recordings (Bass
Trombone)
|
| This list of works below is borrowed from a web site by
Stacy
Werblin that compiled excerpts from recent orchestral
auditions. I have listed recordings that are currently in
print. Recommended places to shop online include: ArkivMusic,
Tower
Records, and the Berkshire
Record Outlet. Reviews of many of the recordings can be
found at: Gramophone,
Fanfaire,
and the American
Record Guide. An excellent resource into other recordings
is Orchestral Recordings for Low Brass by Gerald Sloan
published by Encore
Music Publishers. This guide is a compilation of annotations
by top low brass players from around the country. |
