Info for In Good Company
What do you think happens when wind instruments get together to enjoy themselves in agreeable company? And then, when the host is the tuba player Rubén Durá de Lamo, winner of the 2013 German Music Competition? We don't experience it – we enjoy it on his new GENUIN CD: this exceptional tuba player goes on the stage of life with his guests, singing, dancing, arguing, declaiming and philosophising. Witty, virtuoso, dramatic and pensive works of the 20th century are on the menu: from Tomasi to Danielsson, from Russell to Penn. One notices that Rubén Durá de Lamo and his friends get along ideally. Not only good, but the finest company!
