About
Brass instruments are a vital part of the festive fabric of Christmas, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic ballet The Nutcracker is made even more joyful with the brassy brilliance of Septura. Narrated by preeminent actor Derek Jacobi, The Nutcracker is set on Christmas Eve, with music both rapturous and fantastical. It tells the story of how young Clara’s favourite present, a nutcracker shaped like a little man, turns into a handsome prince at midnight. Septura has been acclaimed by Brass Band World for its ‘stylistic perfection’ and ‘beautifully portrayed artistry.’
"... Rarely does a recording project manage to capture each aspect of delivery so perfectly. The outstanding arrangement, by Matthew Knight and Simon Cox, proves to be the ideal vehicle for Septura, which impresses both technically and with the range of emotion it evokes, whilst the recording quality is of the highest standard. This is world-class in its own right and the perfectly proportioned story, narrated with such enchanting brilliance by Derek Jacobi, elevates this recording to a new level. The Nutcracker is a mightily impressive achievement and is a delightful treat for listeners of all ages this Christmas and beyond."
