Released on April 1, 2000, under the Hyperion label, this album is a meticulously crafted journey through the historical and sonic landscape of brass music, spanning a little over an hour and nineteen minutes.
The London Gabrieli Brass Ensemble, known for their virtuosity and dedication to historical performance practices, brings to life a collection of pieces that showcase the unique timbre and expressive capabilities of period brass instruments. The album features a diverse range of compositions, from the intricate and dramatic "Quatuor pour être exécuté à la Grotte tuonante" to the elegant and refined "Sonata for 2 Horns in F Major."
Each track is a testament to the ensemble's skill and the beauty of the music they perform. The "Horn Concerto in F Major," arranged by Preumayr, highlights the lyrical and technical prowess of the soloist, while the "5 Duets for 2 Horns" offer a delightful interplay of melodies and harmonies. The "Septet" and "Music for the Wertheim Harmoniemusik" pieces provide a glimpse into the rich texture and complexity of classical brass ensembles.
The album also includes works for lesser-known instruments such as the keyed bugle and the slide trumpet, offering a unique and fascinating listening experience. The "3 Pieces for the Slide Trumpet" and the "Adagio and Polonaise for Solo Keyed Bugle and Brass" are particularly noteworthy for their historical significance and the ensemble's masterful interpretation.
