CD Reviews

Delightful brihgtness. Real poliphony and counterpoint.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Realistic sound. You can bet that is an giant pipe organ playing the toccata and fugue. The most beautiful melodies among the cantatas. Great force on the watermusic. Deep sound on Frescobaldi. Well executed baroque music."

The Canadian Brass at their best...

Chad Oberholtzer | Boalsburg, PA, USA | 03/29/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is simply fabulous. The Canadian Brass have been the top brass ensemble in the world for decades, and this album captures them at their absolute best. It is no small thing to arrange for brass quintet so many baroque classics that were originally written for markedly different instrumentations, so much credit goes to the arrangers. Despite only five instruments, the pieces never felt thin, and their musicianship is impeccable. When I want to listen to baroque music, this is one of the first albums I grab, and it never disappoints. If you are looking to try the Canadian Brass or baroque music, this is a great place to start. And baroque fans will certainly appreciate the new spin on such masterful compositions from centuries ago that have aged so remarkably well."

Awesome, inspiring music

"Every cut on this recording is perfect. The Pachelbel Canon has never sounded more musical. The Frescobaldi Toccata often brings tears to my eyes. The Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor(the classic pipe organ show piece, and horror movie theme music) and the Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor are tour-de-force displays of (highly musical) brass mastery."
