Bramwell Tovey is quoted in the CD cover as follows "The player who most reminds me of John Fletcher today is Les Neish" - I would have to agree with him. This is a unique Solo recital CD which combines superb performances of arrangements of works written for violin, saxophone, horn and voice with stunning performances of original contemporary works for Solo Tuba using multiphonic techniques - Tuba players world wide will regard this CD as a "must have" for their collection. Whether playing fast and loud or slow and lyrical or in the depths of the pedal register to the hights of stratosphere above the stave Les's sound definately has that "Fletcher" tone quality always totally centered, pure and seemingly effortless.
