rating: 4 QuoteBolero et al.Quote
Very enjoyable CD. A variety of light classical works that make this a serious or easy listening CD. The sounds of the various brass instruments on this recording are wide and varied. It is fascinating to listen to familiar works and hear the new brass voices taking the place of other instruments. Overall a lively collection that will make your day. October 9, 2008

Brass virtuosos offer familiar pieces in refreshing way. Great listening! April 11, 2007

You either like the sound of brass instruments or you don't. I do. I especially like them in the hands of competent musicians playing tunes I like (mostly), I like this album.

It's a hodgepodge of mostly very short pieces and not all of them are "classical" although that is the main thrust of the work. Intermixed with Handel's MUSIC FROM THE ROYAL FIREWORKS and Ravel's BOLERO you will find such pieces as the CAN-CAN or GLOWWORM. It's all very enjoyable.

This CD absolutely shows the absolute talent in the absolute Canadian Brass. These short little songs might be abused, but they showed the great skills the players had. The tuba was heard clearly in one of the song's end. Trombone had a lot of solo that showed hard technique, and the trumpets are surprisingly outstanding! The French horn might not be heard quite easily, but it was played fantastically good.
Great recording for sure, all famous songs, and some great classical ballads. September 15, 2004

This is a fun cd to listen to. The recording is very clear and crisp, each instrument shines. Also, the cover photo is comical. I have several other Canadian Brass recordings and I think they are all interesting. A truly talented band of skillful musicians. June 1, 2000
