Most people shudder when they see a brassCD in front of them – but in the case of thisrecording, it would be worthwhile taking thetime to listen to this disc. The Bay Brass hasput together an excellent program of brassmusic, with contributions from John Williams,Kevin Puts and Scott Hiltzik. Standouttracks are the O Magnum Mysterium byLauridsen and Bruce Broughton’s Fanfares,Marches Hymns & Finale. The playing is ofthe highest order and the recording quality isexcellent. Highly recommended.
