“All hail to a disc that features the CSO brass players in all their refulgent splendor . . . All of the arrangements are deft and colorful; the playing, needless to say, is exquisite.” — Fanfare
The legendary brass section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, long recognized for its power, dynamism and lyricism, takes center stage in this release from the Grammy® Award-winning CSO Resound label. Cheered for their performances and recordings of Mahler, Bruckner and Strauss, the CSO Brass turns its focus to works by Giovanni Gabrieli, William Walton and Johann Sebastian Bach, as well as symphonic works arranged for brass and percussion by Silvestre Revueltas, Percy Grainger and Sergei Prokofiev.
