Additional Info

Fandango is a recording that demonstrates the true spirit and vitality of the euphonium. On this disc we hear some brand new music for the instrument in addition to a couple of well loved classics. Teaming up with Tomoko Sawano once again, the combination of old and new repertoire will be much appreciated by enthusiasts and music critics alike. Demonstrating electrifying technique and sumptuous melodic playing, this new disc from Steve shows that he is still at the very top of his game. Tomoko's accompanying is once again just stunning !

Recorded in December 2010 at Studio 7 at the RNCM, Manchester.

The composers write:

"Now that I've listened to the concertino, I am very very happy ;-)

Wow! It sounds great: you are the world's great euphonium player !!

This beautiful sound, fine phrasing, tuning and musically playing - what a marvellous performance!

I am really very happy with this recording. Can't wait to get the CD!

Please don't forget to thank Tomoko Sawano for her excellent job on the piano

Marco Pütz (composer - Concertino)

This is fantastic! Really, really impressive and beautiful. I am so fortunate to have found you as a friend and collaborator in this. Can't wait to get a finished CD and tell everyone about it who will listen!

Ethan Wickman (composer - Three Expeditions)
