This brand new CD is a wonderful collection of arrangements for 10 piece brass ensemble with percussion, performed by the incredible Symphonic Brass of London, under the direction of Professor Eric Crees, former Principal Trombone at the Royal Opera House, Co-Principal Trombone of the LSO and Professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. Professor Crees is also internationally renowned as a composer and arranger and in this delightful collection orchestrated from the original piano pieces we hear how Ragtime (brilliantly realised in the music of Scott Joplin) and then Jazz influenced French composers such as Debussy, Auric, Milhaud and Satie. Recorded by MPR in the world famous acoustic of Henry Wood Hall, London, these sensitive and thrilling performances, with 12 of London’s finest brass players and percussionists will mesmerise you with their musicianship and amazing technical skill. Tony Faulkner’s beautiful recorded sound makes this recording a must for all lovers of fine recorded music, but of course especially for brass enthusiasts!
