Canadian Brass March 21, 2009

The virtuosi of Canadian Brass have made the brass quintet an exciting vehicle for serious concert music. The quintet — having just celebrated its 35th season — has a long history of recording classical repertoire. They have a special affinity for Baroque music, which requires the brilliance and musical structure that has become the Canadian Brass’ trademark.

Their more than 60 recordings to date include works by Purcell, Vivaldi, Gabrieli, Pachelbel, Beethoven and Wagner — all in meticulously crafted transcriptions that are setting new musical traditions in brass performance.
