Digital Booklet

"... captured in warm and impactful sound ... anyone who cares about brass playing should consider this an essential purchase."
- Classical.Net
"Does it succeed? Emphatically, yes. The sheer weight and superior blend of these Dutch players is a wonder to behold. However, all that technique doesn’t count for much unless it’s firmly focused on musical values; happily this artful arrangement ensures those elements are always paramount ... brass playing does not come much better than this."
- MusicWeb International
This is the sequel to the highly successful album Brass which put the brass section of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the spotlight. Seven years later comes Brass Too, the pun in the title also pointing to the idea behind this album: the works of Shostakovich and Piazzolla, for instance, were not originally written for brass, but in these arrangements they sound lovely. Although Hindemith is not known as a composer of brass music, he has written for this family of instruments too. The album includes a new work by the RCO's house composer Detlev Glanert proving that brass can sound completely different.
