I was blown away when I heard her play a recital at Illinois State Univ. in 2005 (ITEC tuba conference). I was like, "who is this"? And then she wins the Philadelphia job....PRODIGY! :)

[@wheatberry]

Standing UP ! Memorized intricate part ! Unexpectedly versatile and beautiful tuba !!!! WOW

[@mpmcd81]

She has almost MIDI like consistency to her sound. Beautiful tone in all registers and highly expressive. Easily one of the world’s best, maybe one the ten (or fewer) best to ever play the instrument since its invention.

[@Gil172]

I love her tone

[@johnklatt4726]

Another great Carol show!

This is much too good not to share it! Thanks for the upload. Shared on Google+

Beast for standing up and playing a solo memorized. Saw her live a couple years ago, blew my mind.

[@Giggles154242]

She is a BEAST!!! But we all knew that already. WOW.

[@johnries5593]

Nah, she's a woman; her horn is a beast. I know it's customary for soloists to stand, but I suggest that allowances be made for tubists as they are for cellists. Playing a tuba (not a sousaphone) standing up looks like rather effective weight training, but the concentration should really be on the music (but she plays superbly anyway).

[@DougBlacktuba]

She has a belt that does most of the work of supporting the weight of the instrument. You can see the connector clearly when she takes the tuba off at the end of the piece.

[@johnries5593]

Didn't notice that. Thanks. It makes a lot more sense than what I thought she was doing.

[@JoaoFurtadoCoelho777]

Not a BEAST Lauren!... She is a Lady... Hadn't you noticed?... Perhaps you could do with some tutoring on manners. Shared on Google+

[@bbobe2692]

@@JoaoFurtadoCoelho777 @Joao Furtado-Coehlo I think you have misunderstood. Saying "[Person] is a beast" is a very common slang term used in America to describe that someone has exceptional playing ability on an instrument, and is pretty universally regarded as a compliment in this context. I'm pretty sure that most musicians in America, especially those of younger generations like Carol, would not be offended in the slightest by this comment, and would probably take it as the compliment that it is.

[@ytm2818]

I really love her sounds

[@sergiocosta8830]

Essa musicista é de mais!!!! Já sou seu fã.

[@TonyZilincik]

Well done, Carol and band!

[@grahamm3139]

Great sound!

[@bastubalinda]

❤ Beautiful ❤

[@jadongrifhorst6221]

Putting ads in the middle of songs is something I truly detest. I get that they want to make money, but having a beautiful moment interrupted by a loud and obnoxious ad is the worst feeling ever

[@thiagobernardestuba]

Isso é lindo!

[@_chickenhead]

WOW

[@sergiocosta8830]

Muito bom. ...........👍👍👍👍👍👏👏

[@tubaweng]

Great!Brrrrrrrravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Brownie63103]

What kind of tuba is that

[@RicoLee830104]

Yamaha YFB-822S F tuba ("S" suffix for nickel-silver coating)

[@mid-sizesedan488]

I think Bb tuba

[@jerrybyers2172]

Man! Her IQ must be around 200! To memorize a 23 minute concerto and play it in a meaningful way without a hitch!

[@divinetragedy4238]

Oh my heavens, this is just incredible in every note. Very beautifully magickal. ♡♡

[@misseuphonium]

She is absolutely amazing

[@aimenhashish04]

yes

[@OMurchadha]

Was she just holding that thing up with one arm for 22 minutes? I didn't see any sort of harness/strap...

[@payneseal5563]

She's wearing some sort of support belt. Right after she walks across the stage and lifts her horn, you can see her position the bottom bow onto it.

[@idkbutilikerice739]

The adds destroyed my brain tho

[@vanessachan5191]

Carol is just awesome!! Seldom listen to concerto but really love this piece and her sound of Tuba! ( jus curious, do anyone know what is the major/minor of this piece? ( sry im not quite familiar to this area

[@isaacfelipecalvoespinoza5045]

Esto es demasiado impresionante, sin palabras...

[@samuelcorreialacerda1529]

Astonishing!!

[@warrenwilson4818]

What a gorgeous stage.

[@dgdavenport]

Well, fantastic, but who's the soloist?!

[@imdeneen]

Carol Jantsch

[@dgdavenport]

+Peter Deneen That was my guess but wasn't sure. Thanks.

[@bartmuz]

Carol Jantsch, tuba soloist

[@aysiawrites232]

My actual queen. I love her ❤️ 😍

[@tubadylan]

Fabulous.

[@clockworktubas]

Just unreal

[@mikhail3643]

Bravo👋👋👋

[@johnries5593]

The title is somewhat ambiguous in that the soloist's name is not mentioned, but the composer's name is. There are women named Michael, though not many. Only when open up the description do we see that the Michael Daugherty is the composer and Carol Jantsch is the soloist.

[@frontensemble077]

OMG Shut up.
