Here you go, Simon. I took the liberty to copy and paste something that I had JUST POSTED about John Fletcher:
(re: Mahler 6) "Anyway, it's a great part. There's one spot in the finale where you climb up to the C# above staff, but you get to do it loud. As you might imagine, there's a lot of grumbling in the lowest register of the horn. John Fletcher sounds fabulous on both of his recordings of the piece: James Levine/LSO (RCA), and Harold Farberman/LSO (Vox Box)."
I also think that the current tuba player in the LSO is quite good.
