The Canadian Brass are wonderful, but spend your money on one of their other CDs. First, the amount of music is only 32 minutes. Second, almost 8 minutes of it is a piece of "music" (term used loosely) by Norman Symonds called "A Diversion". I think the "diversion" means you have to divert your hand to find the CD remote so you can skip this track -- it is not worth listening to!

So, buy the Canadian Brass, but don't buy this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Divertissement, August 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Canadian Brass: Toccata, Fugues & other Diversions (Audio CD)

I have been looking for a recording of the Norman Symonds piece for several years. The piece is on an old Canadian Brass vinyl album and I have never found the CD version. The Divertissement is one of the truly modern pieces of music I like - the brass sounds are what I like.

I agree with the other review that the sound may not be for everyone, but if you like it, you'll remember it.
