My favorite Euph Solos

My favorite Euphonium solos....
This is tough, there are certainly a lot to choose from...... but I suppose..............

Fantasia for Euphonium- Gordon Jacob
Five Pieces in Folk Style, Op. 102- Robert Schumann (don't remember who set it for Euphonium... maybe Paul Droste?)
Fantasie Originale- Picchi/Mantia
Concerto for Euphonium- Cosma
Concerto for Euphonium- Horovitz
The Last Rose of Summer- Britten
Vintage- Gillingham
Arioso and Allegro- Fiocco/Childs/Wilby
Piece en Form de Habanera- Ravel/transcribed by Falcone
By Gaslight- Kassati
Valflickens Dans- Hugo Alfven/ arr. Rydland
Meditation from "Thais"- Jules Massenet/ Arr. Flaten

Some of these are classics.... Some of them will eventually be classics.. But if I could compile a CD with recordings of each of these songs, it would be probably the perfect mix of technical showmanship and lyrical beauty.
