Thread: Favourite solos/moments from the band/orchestra repertoire?

  1. For another orchestral solo, there's a beautiful soaring solo in the second movement of Shostakovich's "Age of Gold" Suite. I believe in the score it's written baritone horn, though many of the recordings I've heard sound like it's performed on a euphonium.

    Here's a recording of the Chicago Symphony under Stokowski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11yL9osbC_k (starts at about the 5:20 mark)
    Willson 2900 TA-1 Euphonium - Denis Wick 4AM
    Yamaha YSL-643 Trombone - Bob Reeves BrassArk 5G "Gladstone"
    Yamaha YSL-8440 Trombone - Denis Wick 5BS
    VMI 3301S BBb Tuba - Schilke Helleberg

    Past:
    York Preference 3067 Euphonium - Denis Wick 4AL
    Benge 165F Trombone - Benge Marcellus
    Wessex BR140 Baritone - Denis Wick 6BS
    F.E. Olds Special Trombone (ca. 1941)

    I love that theme! Unfortunately, every time I hear it I think of the "Aren't You Hungry" Burger King theme from decades ago:
