Product details
David Stanhope has been writing music for brass ensembles for
over 30 years. This music is performed widely and is a favourite
of brass players around the world.
Sydney Brass is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary with the
release of this recording. It has been performing and promoting
brass ensembles in a variety of settings for 50 years, having
been established by the Sydney Symphony's long-time, now retired
tuba player, Cliff Goodchild. He has passed the reins to his son,
trumpeter Paul Goodchild.
An ensemble of the best brass players on the Australian eastern
seaboard has been gathered to make this CD, and the performances
are "verging on ideal" according to the composer. The recording
was made in the clear and supportive acoustic of City Recital
Hall in Angel Place, Sydney. The works range from techically
terrifying trombone quartets, to fanfares written for and first
performed at recent Olympic Games' ceremonies, to large ensemble
works involving the addition of percussion. Stanhope's writing
for brass is Graingeresque, with an ear for melody and a deftness
of writing that really suits brass instruments.
Included as a bonus are some recordings from Stanhope's personal
archive in which he multi-tracked (with seriously ancient
technology) french horn quartets and octets, many of which have
been published and are tackled regularly by horn players round
the world. The virtuosity required to perform these works is
legendary. To hear Stanhope performing them is an astounding
experience.
