Yep, good stuff.
That was the first time I've knowingly heard a rotary trumpet. Can't hear the difference here but those short throw rotors could make the trumpet guys have 'pistons vs. rotors' debates, too.
The tubaman's double voicing on the solo parts was very good and appropriate for this piece.

Maybe you all are so well informed, that it goes without saying, but shouldn't the tuba player be named?
He is Jon (Jonathan) Sass, born 1961 in Bronx.

And the rotary trumpet player is Hans Gansch, former principal in the Vienna Phil. Check out his "Song and Dance" on the Euro Brass Band CD from a few years back, its an absolute masterclass of cornet playing.

amen-
Sass rocks, and this is a great example of his playing.
Thanks for posting!
I do think I'd rather hear him play this music within the context of something OTHER than a brass quintet, but that's just me.
