[@scottjop656]

For any non tuba players out there... i can not put into words how high this song gets! working on it right now.. wonderful piece! great playing.

[@ericwright6422]

All the tuba stereotypes just flew out the window. That candenza was excellent!

[@LeBashfulBadger]

THE A FLAT OH THE A FLAT YOU MAKE IT SOUND SO EASY

[@deathofosiris6566]

I'm a junior in HS and I actually have to play that Ab quite often

[@deathofosiris6566]

on a Bb tuba

[@deathofosiris6566]

never mind, wrong Ab

[@deathofosiris6566]

I'm an octave too low

[@niecomartinez2148]

Daniel Robidoux bruH I was reading your comments and let me tell you it was a real bruH moment

[@ゆん-d7e3c]

この曲が本当に好きです。ほかの演奏も聞きましたが、この方の演奏が1番好きです。ソロコンの曲もこれにしました。もう三年前ですが、今も聴いています。

[@SamuelHikida]

Wow! The articulation is so clear and spot on, and the tone is smooth. I love how this didnt feel like a tuba playing a concerto, it just felt like music. Bravo! 👏

[@sagat64]

また聴ききにきた。　何回聴いてももすばらしい。

[@tubasmitty2]

God I miss playing the tuba, good job Beth McDonald, that was a wonderful performance.

[@stanleyross6430]

You can say that again, Eric Wright. I'm a tuba player and after watching hearing this recital, I need to find a practice room immediately.

[@zuantuba]

SO...... touched..I can't stop crying ....

[@AbrahamSmith102093]

Lovely job! I'm not a big tuba fan but you changed my mind on Tubas! Lovely tone, articulation, and phrasing.

[@QuarterTon]

i love this .! i just started playin' tuba and have been for 2 years now . this is amazing . !

[@romanmatusiewicz3816]

Wow, beautiful tone control. I have to play this in September for the Wisconsin All-state Concerto Competition. Very Nicely done!

[@TimMorrissey1949]

This is a wonderful performance! You really make that Meinl-Weston sing! And I love your tempo. Well-done!

[@Aardvark892]

Beautifully played. Thank you for sharing!

[@kkcosmic3014]

Wow I hope I end up this good I'm also a girl tuba player

[@jrn6471]

[@LuisFredTrombon]

Beautiful playing, sense of phrasing and sound! Brava

[@BigB2450]

This sounds amazing and I am so jealous of your tone. So nice and clear. Excellent job!

[@YourVideoIsCool]

[@MrGhudon]

I listen to every chance I get. You rock. I have heard alot of people play this concerto and you are right up there at the top. YOur sound is so wonderful and smooth. You are a true artist. later. If you ever in the chicago area , I would like to attend one of your concerts. wow, and wow.

[@belugafishgod]

A tone and technical expertise that tubist all over will envy and be jealous of. Way to go.

[@antonipopov6423]

beautiful and soft sound! very good movement on the temp!good luck in the future!!

[@jarodamo]

I like that you move as you play. Helps really bring out the emotion and movement from your playing. Niiiiiiiiiice tone. Very well done. I didn't do anywhere near this good on it last year for solo and ensemble. xD

[@jazztheology]

I don't care who your are, Beth's got game!! Thank you for posting this!

[@Tennisers]

I enjoyed that a lot! thanks for being awesome!

[@sousaphone68]

Amazing tone control and pitch and musicality have been blown away

[@malthuswasright]

I was grinning throughout! Fantastic performance.

[@nataliaiscool95]

amazing!!! excellent tone on everything!!

[@RobinC63]

I am working on this again, the second time I will be playing it. The first time was long before youtube so it is really great to access different people playing it. For me, especially the cadenza. My main influence before was Arnold Jacobs, a really good influence to have though. Well done.

[@potobill]

Do you have the sheet music freely available to download it?

[@RobinC63]

potobill You can find it on the imslp site.

[@sicus5D]

I enjoy listening to this. Alot. Good job. Im starting to learn this for next year (Im a freshman and planning to play this for sophmore solo) I didn;t even want to consider something this hard untill i heard it played , and how cool it sounds. Very , VERY well done :)

[@raymondfallon7429]

Wonderful playing... really excellent.

[@zabere0w0]

I love tuba!

[@contrabajista100]

increible!! muy muy buena interpretacion por esta chica!! que sonidazo y gran tecnica!

[@NickLukefahr]

Great sound! The extra triplets at 2:18 threw me though (to the point where I actually got the part out and looked) good job on both the soloist and accompanist!

[@NickLukefahr]

Also the cadenza was played a bit different... must be that other version that I've heard about

[@jrn6471]

Fantastic intionation and register! I have played tuba for more than 30 years, and my prefernece being the EEb tuba. You have a fantastic sound all over the register! You should be proud of your self! Best regards Jørn S. Iversen

[@SLRmc13]

you have an amazing gift!

[@MrTubateacher]

Great performance, great sound....really enjoyed!

[@DekasaSovKhan]

@guyvascm To the best of my knowledge, this piece is played with a bass tuba. I'm fairly certain the one she's playing is in F.

[@jhonkbuco]

felicitaciones que buena proyeccion del sonido y que buena musicalidad te suena muy bien

[@southkitsapstubagirl]

I hope I'll be able to play like that someday! Beautifully done!

[@edolch]

I love this piece and you play it so well!

[@tubadude07]

God your articulation is damn near flawless and you make it sound so easy....very impressive.

[@zuantuba]

Very nice ... I love your sound ...

[@DMRCapitalHill]

Shes beautiful to amazing player

[@CarlosAFBarbosa]

Menina, quem foram teus mestres!?!? Que precisão!!! Que afinação!!! Que qualidade de som!!! É sobretudo celestial... Lindo!

[@mmb96]

Wonderful performance! Contragulations Beth McDonald!

[@gabful3483]

[@bambino100011]

Love your sound on your tuba. Awesome job. :)

[@elgatosucio]

Beautiful. Greetings from Argentina.

[@conankun123]

the first few seconds give me the chills...

[@tubatim49]

Excellent job, Beth! You really rocked that tough cadenza.

[@hannahj9773]

I actually LOVE this!!

[@trombone901]

good job, best performance iv seen so far. im playing this piece on bass bone.

[@dapaulson1]

This little lady can really play a big tuba. Great sound. Nice performance.

[@UMSMASTA]

This chick is insane. She has won numerous awards in international competitions.

[@ShanksPinkerton]

sounds amazing

[@MegaCirse]

Listen this it’s abolish the surge of noises and images of everyday life in order to open the space of a place where contingency and representation give way to the immateriality of the sensible. Once the door is closed on the agitation of the world, an underlying silence is established, a slowness grasps, preludes to a dilation of perception and consciousness. In the stream of the notes that pass through us, the expressive power of the sound architecture breaks with any form of transcription of the real to attach itself to the expression of an impalpable universe. Colors, composition, rhythm, constitute a language that truly gives voice to exaltation!

[@ebrandonwhite]

I love your flexibility and centered pitch in the upper range. My senior year of high school I had a choice to work this up or the Hindemith and I chose the Hindemith because it was just too different to pass up (back in 1990). I did work up both the Hindemith and the Vaughn Williams and speaking from the point of view of having done so, I really love what you did with it. I enjoyed listening to you play.

[@saxmasta]

beautiful tone. I like it!

[@shunkiiwamoto3842]

素晴らしすぎる…。

[@nikkipuffable]

Thank you for inspiring me!

[@tubamarc8891]

anywhere. this concerto is the most popular work for tuba. its pretty easy to find

[@tubamarc8891]

You have a wonderful talent! Your articluation is as smooth as I've ever heard. I think in some of the 6/8 sections in the middle you could have played around with dynamics a little more (seemed a little flat). But seriously you are a blessing to the tuba world!!!!

[@とぅっとぅるはじゃがチューバ吹き]

Amazing！！

[@HarmonieWevelgem]

Awesome piece, well played!

[@hannahbananagonilda]

beautiful sound and Your high and low notes are so clean!!!!, i really suck at low notes...

[@nekomitorah]

OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGG Congratulations excellent interpretation!!!!!!

[@ZacTheTuba]

I think so too, still fantastic, like you said!

[@orichalcum1]

Great focused tone, super musical shape, excellent sense of ensemble, mature interpretation... will the 8 "dislikers" please send me the link of them playing better than this?!! Well played Beth.

[@pbj4toast]

I love the way she finished up the cadenza.

[@trammell2004]

great articulation. i can feel your musicality!

[@kevintheblacksmith]

very awesome tuba player ! she is very good

[@tubagod88]

wow ! amazing!

[@MundaStock]

amazing!

[@andrewhaney1962]

I hope I'm that good someday

[@kevintheblacksmith]

Great job ! Very good !

[@danielwarburton1141]

Amazing!

[@Usernamedeleted]

@moosienails This piece was not written for BBb tuba. Otherwise the title would say Concerto for Contrabass tuba

[@curibass_curico]

suena muy bien!!

[@Saxophone1590]

you have a very good sound!!!!!

[@benvasko]

that was wonderful! i'm playing this at my local solo and ensemble and this will help:)

[@gwaryo]

amazing!!!!

[@Impss12]

Now, that's a good tuba., very well played!

[@solonemanuelwhitetigernava571]

I love that sound...but on my mind is playing so fast...I don't know if I have to play like that...because I have an audition next December 5

[@TheLocoUnion]

Thanks drownthedays!

[@Seldore]

Still watching this in 2011!! :D

[@thunderdudepyromanic]

wow, that's awesome.

[@TheBrassmen]

Is that a FIVE VALVE TUBA!?!?!?!?! I think I'm drooling

[@Bandgeek3997]

I think I'm in love.

[@jonathondn]

Thinking about using this for college auditions

[@Pandora234able]

I played this senior year of high school.

[@2540southtroy]

thats some mighty playing

[@Glarfugus]

I wish I had an F tuba with which to play this... I have a good range for playing on a BBb tuba but it's not quite stable enough to play the Vaughan Williams. Very nice interpretation!

[@GustavTheCommie]

I have found the woman of my dreams.

[@shamusquinhada]

Maravilhoso! Que som lindo! Que marca é essa tuba?

[@DMRCapitalHill]

Amazing

[@steamboat75043]

what key is the horn? CC, F, BBb, Eb? Since there is not a lot of tubing between the bows, I am thinking F? (btw, wonderful playing)

[@Ren-il2yq]

I find it hard to play all the partials whenever I play this on a Bb tuba

[@colecavanah4612]

mexicanpoptart Probably because it’s not written for Bb tuba.

[@trevorcockrell1392]

You can play it on Bb maybe it’ll be better for BBb if that’s even a difference for you but mostly people would play this on F

[@tonydelamont1406]

It's not written for a contrabass tuba so that's part of your problem right there.

[@angodamango]

@DCTubaPlayer not quite right.... its Ralph Vaughn Williams tuba concerto.... Gregsons is a whole new concerto

[@falloutboy7778]

@daitryk all i can say to you is AMAZING RANGE for playing an F tuba this is amazing tone quality i play a BBb 4 rotary and i myself can play D up 2 octaves and thats about my max without having to fish for the note.
