Notes
In this seventh volume of Music for Brass Septet, Septura survey two of America’s greatest and most representative composers. Gershwin’s An American in Paris charts a visitor’s stroll around the French capital, absorbing the city’s atmosphere and charm, whereas the synergy of classical form and jazz animates Gershwin’s unique Preludes. Copland’s Quiet City depicts a contrasting and more understated cityscape, while the suite from the ballet Appalachian Spring displays Septura’s luminous virtuosity.

Reviews
“… Prior releases have been critically acclaimed, and I am happy to jump on the bandwagon. This is exquisite playing… In sum, you might think that an ensemble consisting of three trumpets, three trombones, and a tuba would be unable to offer enough coloristic variety to sustain interest over an hour. Instead of the unrelieved brightness, however, we get tonal warmth and richness. The players blend superbly with each other, and where appropriate they stress the music’s lyricism rather that its brilliance. If you enjoy the sound of brass instruments, this disc is recommended without reservation. A lovely recorded balance completes the picture.”

“For the seventh installment of its successful Naxos series, the British brass septet Septura has recorded transcriptions of Gershwin’s An American in Paris and Three Preludes, as well as Copland’s Quiet City and Appalachian Spring Suite. Septura’s very virtuosic playing is impressive …” ****
