This album is simply fabulous. The Canadian Brass have been the top brass ensemble in the world for decades, and this album captures them at their absolute best. It is no small thing to arrange for brass quintet so many baroque classics that were originally written for markedly different instrumentations, so much credit goes to the arrangers. Despite only five instruments, the pieces never felt thin, and their musicianship is impeccable. When I want to listen to baroque music, this is one of the first albums I grab, and it never disappoints. If you are looking to try the Canadian Brass or baroque music, this is a great place to start. And baroque fans will certainly appreciate the new spin on such masterful compositions from centuries ago that have aged so remarkably well.
