5.0 out of 5 stars Unique brass arrangements of carols, unlike any you've heard, December 8, 2003

Richard Price, the horn player, writes excellent arrangements. Not only are the changes and subsitutions intriguing (NOT schmaltzy), but the instrumentation is brilliant, using the full range and capacity of each instrument. If you enjoy brass music, you'll love this album. If you're a player, you'll turn the web upside down looking for Richard Price so you can buy the arrangements!

This review is from: Carols for Brass (Audio CD)

Instrumental versions of 20 of the finest Christmas tunes ever written fill this 40-minute CD. The quintet plays trumpet, flugelhorn, French horn, trombone and tuba. This is wonderful as background music for the holiday shoppers in your store, or for the holiday party in your home. It is also pretty nice to listen to while driving in the cold of December, or at home with the headphones. Most tracks are reverent yet not dull. Quite an unusual item for lovers of traditional carols.
