Met Opera Brass CD
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 8:12 pm
Forgive me if this has already been posted -- I searched and did not find it.
ANYWAY - I was at The Met on Saturday night and picked up a copy of their CD of the Metropolitan Opera Brass section playing transcriptions of great operatic literature. This is one amazing CD and I highly recommend it. Chris Hall sounds like a million bucks, as do all his colleagues in the brass section. Most of the tracks are conducted by Mark Gould, former co-principal trumpet at The Met. There are selections by Weber, Richard Strauss, Mascagni, Wagner, and more.
You can order the CD directly from the Met online via their gift shop or you can get it here http://www.poperepair.com/store/index.p ... 21fcff2511 and see a complete listing of the selections.
This is the highest level of musicianship and artistry. Don't miss it!
