While this isn't the most recent of the Canadian Brass' offerings, it reinforces my thought that they retain their status of one of the best-of-type, even the best [no qualifier, here!] - in the stand-alone genre. What's most important, is that they never just 'phone it in'. Their offerings are always emotional, within the scope of the respective pieces and - for this old player, anyway - extremely satisfying. They are one of the few, I'll listen to the whole CD,, then go back and listen to a specific cut or two - again - in the: "Did I really hear what I thought I heard?" - mode. I guess, 'stunning' is an apt summation. Actually, I heard this on our local PBS/MPR station and I had to get it - if only for that one cut!

Excellent renditions of BACH by a brass ensemble.
