Whatever you used to record (phone?) picked things up quite well I think. Nicely played Sir!

Thank you. It's a simple mobile phone on the music stand :-)

It’s encouraging to see someone else who doesn’t hesitate to use two instruments on the same piece of music. The F tuba use - combined with a tessitura - reinforces something that I often point out: that the higher-pitched and smaller the instrument, the more important perfect intonation becomes. Your intonation was superb, and the clarity makes it all too obvious that - had it been flawed, it would not have sounded good at all. It sounded wonderful.

(As English as a second language, I hope my message above was clear, because I used “double negatives“, etc. I hope it is clear that everything I said - above - was a compliment.)

Thank you very much!
Although German is my main language, I understand and speak English quite well ;-)
If an instrument is not well tuned, it has less overtones. A well-balanced set just shines. With perfect intonation and all harmonics.
