Why This CD Matters
This album showcases the Canadian Brass quintet in bright, carefully arranged performances of Baroque music. The program moves from the forceful “Galliard Battaglia” and Bach’s “Air On The G String” to stately suites and familiar fanfares, including the “Masterpiece Theatre” theme. Its varied brass arrangements offer an engaging introduction to Baroque music's sound and style.
