Ingunn Hammerseth plays Edward Gregson's Tuba Concerto first movement. Edward Gregson was born in Sunderland, United Kingdom, in 1945. He is one of Britain’s most respected composers. His Brass Quintet (1967) won him one of the five composition prizes he received whilst at the Royal Academy of Music, London. Communicative, inventive, and enjoyable, the success of this work led to a string of commissions for brass band, each one developing the artistic range of that ensemble in differing ways. Within this period came the Tuba Concerto (1976), undoubtedly now a worldwide repertoire standard with subsequent versions for both symphony and wind orchestra. There are three versions of the Tuba Concerto- orchestral, brass band and wind band. This is the wind version. |
