CANADIAN BRASS: BACH CD

CANADIAN BRASS - BACH CD Canadian Brass plays the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Just about everything about Canadian Brass' past, present and future, can be read into a project like this. Our fans are already telling us how happy they are that we are keeping Bach as the constant as the group evolves. Perhaps more than any other Bach piece, the Little Fugue in G minor has its finest moment on this recording.

    Audio

    I had issues with Apple, Spotify and YouTube with such with tracks like air on a g string with blips and clicking noises but had no problems with the cd and had perfect audio and was 100% worth it

    Immaculate Performances

    Posted by Stephen Cairns on 9th Apr 2017

    I have been a fan of Canadian Brass from first buying their LPs (!!) and playing their arrangements in the 1980's.
    Performances are always of the highest musical quality, but CB seem to excel, for me anyway, in their jazz interpretations (the Fats Waller album is simply brilliant!) and in the music of J.S. Bach.
    With this album we have fantastic arrangements which totally 'work' in the brass medium, sound majestic and are performed to absolute perfection.

    Bach on Brass - the pinnacle of performance

    Posted by All Music Guide on 11th Mar 2011

    To those purists out there who would argue that the works of Bach should not be transcribed for different instruments, particularly for something like a brass quintet, which, in its modern incarnation, did not even exist in Bach's time, the Canadian Brass offers a very succinct argument: Bach did it. While Bach did not transcribe any works for brass quintet per se, he -- as well as most of his contemporaries -- did rework his own compositions and at times even the compositions of other composers to suit his needs at the time. In this case, the Canadian Brass refers to Bach's transcription of a Vivaldi concerto that has been reworked again for this album for brass quintet. Perhaps it's not as important what instrument(s) a piece of music is transcribed for, but more whether or not the new configuration can deliver a performance that maintains the work's original dignity and grandeur. Few ensembles can accomplish this in the same way as the Canadian Brass, whose members are at the absolute pinnacle of performance on their given instruments and as a whole deliver musically informed performances. Their transcriptions maintain the musical ideals found in the originals; there is nothing hokey or inappropriate-sounding to be found here. Great playing, great transcriptions, and great musicianship define this enjoyable album.
