such as Turin Brakes, David Gray, Damien Rice, Starsailor, Travis

The Concerto for Bass Tuba and Orchestra was composed in 1953-4 to
mark the 50th anniversary of the formation of the LSO and was
written for the orchestra's principal tuba player, Philip
Catelinet. It was the first major concerto to be written for the
instrument, and remains today the outstanding work of its kind.
This new edition is based on all extant sources and contains full
textual notes and a discussion of the editorial method. Notable
additions are the inclusion of two sets of phrasing for the
Romanza-one from the first publication, largely influenced by
Catelinet, and the other from Vaughan Williams's manuscript-and the
original cadenza to the first movement. The arrangement for tuba
and piano has been updated in light of the research carried out by
David Matthews, and all orchestral parts have been revised.

As his mother was dying, Philip Kennicott began to listen to the
music of Bach obsessively. It was the only music that didn't seem
trivial or irrelevant, and it enabled him to both experience her
death and remove himself from it. For him, Bach's music held the
elements of both joy and despair, life and its inevitable end. He
spent the next five years trying to learn one of the composer's
greatest keyboard masterpieces, the Goldberg Variations. In
Counterpoint, he recounts his efforts to rise to the challenge, and
to fight through his grief by coming to terms with his memories of
a difficult, complicated childhood. He describes the joys of
mastering some of the piano pieces, the frustrations that plague
his understanding of others, the technical challenges they pose,
and the surpassing beauty of the melodies, harmonies, and
counterpoint that distinguish them. While exploring Bach's
compositions he sketches a cultural history of playing the piano in
the twentieth century. And he raises two questions that become
increasingly interrelated, not unlike a contrapuntal passage in one
of the variations itself: What does it mean to know a piece of
music? What does it mean to know another human being?
