His next CD, Tuba Carnival became a tremendous success and was recommended by ClassicToday as one of the six best CD's in the world for solo instrument and orchestra released late 2003. He is in great demand as a soloist and lecturer all over the world and works constantly to expand the musical as- pects of the tuba and, as well as per- forming solo repertoire for tuba and or- chestra, he collaborates with jazz, rook and pop musicians. In all these genres, his desire to communicate with his au- dience has always been his guiding principle. In consequence, he has also developed new playing techniques that have been used in a number of more recent works for the instrument. Fnugg is recorded by Baadsvik on BIS CD 1286, Tuba Carnival.
