Walton / European Brass Ensemble - Diversity [CD]

Once again, the European Brass Ensemble brings together the best young brass players of the continent and celebrates music and it's diversity. Following their grand debut, their second production under the direction of Thomas Clamor is a genuinely regal compilation of inspiring works featuring music from this side and the other side of the Atlantic. The sounds from the baroque to the present swing and groove in a way that makes it a pure joy to hear. Among the showpieces include Richard Blake's "Fantasy on Edelweiss" recorded here for the first time and his rich arrangement of the famous "Te Deum" by Charpentier. Don't miss it-this is pure luster! Since 2010 more than 150 musicians from 24 different countries have been involved in the European Brass Ensemble. They have performed at, among others, the 2011 and 2014 Schagerl Brass Festival, the 12th International Brass Festival in Meran in 2013, the 2013 Carinthian Brass Autumn in Ossiach, as well as having been a regular guest at the Innsbruck Promenade Concerts since 2012 and the Sauerland Herbst since 2015.
