5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, December 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music from the Royal Court (Audio CD)
Phillip Jones Brass Ensemble is the best brass ensemble ever due to many factors: longevity; revival of medieval and renaissance music; the leadership of the great Phillip Jones; and of course their 10 piece big brass sound. But what I like most about them is their classical style and interpretation. They are all top flight musicians without the silliness of Canadian Brass.

I'm so happy they put their best together in one CD album. Every piece is exceptional and the interpretations are classical in style and pleasant to listen to.

Since I was I boy I loved to listen to these pieces imagining them played at royal courts of Europe. The music and the performances are indeed worthy of a king. You will not be disappointed. Well worth $17.

5.0 out of 5 stars My best baroque CD, August 28, 2004
This review is from: Music from the Royal Court (Audio CD)
Over the years from time to time I bought some CDs with baroque brass ensemble music, always hoping it would be so fascinating as what I knew from my fathers PJBE vynil records. What I bought so far all are nice but also somewhat boring after short time. Unfortunately I never bought something from the PJBE until now, and this is the first time that a complete CD (and in this case even two of them) of baroque music for brass is surprising and fascinating me with every 'song', showing facetes and diversity I always missed on my other records. Finally nothing is like the original PJ!
