About this product

This second volume of Septura's Brass Chamber Music Series (Vol. 1 Being Available on Naxos 8.573314) takes us back to the 17th C. and the music of Baroque Opera, in four contrasting works by Rameau, Blow, Purcell and Handel. The astounding variety in content, color and character of the originals demands especially inventive arrangements, and these pieces are vividly brought to life by incorporating stylistic elements from 'Period Performance'. The exhilarating result is a stunningly virtuosic set of new Baroque works for brass. Each volume of this projected ten-volume set will focus on a particular period, genre and set of composers, creating a 'counter-factual history' of Brass Chamber Music. Septura aims to redefine the brass ensemble as a serious artistic medium by creating a canon of brass septet classical art-music through transcriptions, arrangements and an ever-increasing number of new commissions. Septura's members, the leading players of the new generation of British brass musicians, all hold principal positions in today's most preeminent British orchestras. Uplifting debut from a magnificent seven... all ace musicians, as this stirring, thoughtful debut CD for Naxos confirms. (The Observer, on Vol. 1) Album Tracks 1. Ouverture 2. Menuet 3.

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.

Septura head homeward with a recording of British music from the first half of the twentieth century- a golden age in England's otherwise checkered compositional history, and a period in which brass instruments, in the form of the brass band, established their place at the very heart of British musical culture. From the many composers of the period whose music endures we have chosen four of the finest iconic works by Elgar, Parry, Finzi and Walton, reimagined for the unique sound of the brass septet. Septura brings together London's leading players to redefine brass chamber music through the uniquely expressive sound of the brass septet. By creating a canon of transcriptions, arrangements and new commissions for this brand new classical configuration, Septura aims to recast the brass ensemble as a serious artistic medium. Currently ensemble-in-residence at the Royal Academy of Music in London, the group is recording a series of albums for Naxos, each focused on a particular period, genre and set of composers, creating a 'counter-factual history' of brass chamber music.
