| Reviews: "I wish all brass players would approach Renaissance music with this much imagination and variety, not to mention skill. This maybe the best recording of its type." --Barry Kilpatrick, American Record Guide "This recording is a fine example of the good results that can come from a mix of well-played modern instruments and historically informed ideas of interpretation. . . . consistent excitement and lustre in the playing, which comes as much from the impeccable ensemble work as the virtuosity of the individual playing. General music lovers as well as lovers of fine brass playing will find much here to enjoy." --Scott Paterson, Classical Music Magazine |
