Reviews

Stuckemeyer's debut album Just For Fun has been well received by all involved.  Here is what people are saying about it:

"In Just For Fun, Pat Stuckemeyer has produced a very fine euphonium CD with new and interesting repertoire.  A mix of commissioned pieces and arrangments of classical and romantic music makes it a varied and pleasant listening experience.  All the way through the soloist sounds clean, well articulated and with an appealing broad tone very nicely in tune.  Congratulations on an important and well-crafted debut recording!" - Tormod Flaten, international euphonium soloist and teacher.

"Pat Stuckemeyer's recording of my Euphonium Concerto is outstanding! His beautiful, golden tone, his smooth-as-glass lyricism, and his virtuosic technique is just great. He brings my music to life with genuine musicality and a very real sense of emotional expression." - Eric Ewazen, composer and faculty-member, the Julliard School.

"Just For Fun is an outstanding recording featuring great repertoire and effortless playing.  Pat has brought to light some great repertoire in the form of Ewazen, Taylor, and Barnes.  The warm and welcoming artwork allude to not only his fine lyrical playing, but also his personality as a performer.  Bravo Pat!" - Adam Frey, world-class soloist and clinician.

"Absolutely first rate." - R. Winston Morris, prof. of Tuba/Euphonium Tennessee Tech, director of Euphoniums Unlimited and Symphonia.

"This is awesome, definitely something to get ahold of..." - Martin Cochran, prof. of Tuba/Euphonium University of Montevallo, winner Leonard Falcone Artist Euphonium Competition 2002.
