| Description |
Another CD from one of the superb brass ensembles which seem to abound in the USA. .. the Wisconsin Brass Quintet is a group of the highest quality, impeccable in ensemble, intonation and technical accomplishment . . .The programme is especially interesting in that it contains music by two current members of the group - and excellent pieces they are too. Douglas Hill is the horn player, and he has provided Tribal Images and Timepieces. The first is an atmospheric and impressionistic work...Stevens' piece is dedicated to the memory of his father, and is a setting for baritone and brass quintet of some rather lovely poems by his friend Ann Arnston. . .Stephens responds unaffectedly to the words, and creates consistently beautiful and imaginative textures. These two works are flanked by extrovert works more typical of the brass quintet we know and love. Crespo's Suite Americana No.1 is a little masterpiece. . .Hill's Timepieces, which complete the compilation [is a] work, full of melody and harmonic richness [that] deserves to become a staple of brass quintets everywhere it's that good. All in all, an ideal disc to celebrate the beauties of brass ensemble music and the remarkable talents of these fine musicians.
