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!
