I suppose I had started this, but, you're point is also my point. However, as an f.y.i., the Giulini B8 is currently *out of print*. The original question was for a recommendation, and I recommend the Boulez/VPO one. It's available on one disc, and there's absolutely no trouble in hearing the tuba player from the VPO, whomever it was. It was recorded *live* from St. Florian Cathedral, so the band was on their best behavoir, to the say the least.

Then again, as I had mentioned, the other two B8's employing the VPO are ALSO really good: Karajan and Haitink (still in print in Europe, but has never been brought here).

Bottom line: if you're happy with the Giulini, don't jump ship.
