The excerpts here are compiled without commentary. I recommend watching this upload of the full clinic recording here:

   • Warren Deck - Clinic on Orchestral Tu...  



I believe Warren Deck had a sound that has remained unduplicated.

In my opinion, exposure to recordings like this profoundly help young and old players develop their sound concepts.

His playing inspired me to pursue Orchestral tuba playing on this very platform about a decade ago.

-Look for recordings of the New York Phil with following conductors:

Zubin Mehta (1979-2001)
Kurt Masur (1979-2001)
