This review is from: Fireworks! - Baroque Brass Favorites/Canadian Brass (Audio CD)
FIREWORKS! is an exciting album. The trumpets truly dominate the selections. I like quintets; however, I prefer the orginal arrangements of these selections.

The show quintet, October 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Fireworks! - Baroque Brass Favorites/Canadian Brass (Audio CD)
While the Canadian Brass is an excellent show quintet, they are extremely trumpet-heavy. This detracts from the music. The level of the low brass musicians (mainly Eugene Watts on trombone) does not nearly parallel that of the trumpets. The music is excellent, but it could be performed better, I think. There are 24 tracks on the cd, and they are very consistently performed. While the trumpet players are truly amazing, the variability of musicianship takes away from the overall impact of the quintet. However, if you like CB, this is an excellent choice.
