Description

As the title suggests, this piece comprised two contrasting sections.

The first is a some what tongue-in-cheek hymn scored in a nostalgic barbershop style. Ideally this should be played in an old school manner; lots of vibrato as in an ill-disciplined village band.

The second section adopts the rhythms and harmonies of the South African townships; swinging in with an infectious feel good mood.

Lyndon Chapman
“Simply some of the most exciting and triumphant brass playing I have ever heard!”

“The entire programme can be likened to a sumptuous feast, with each track having its own highly delectable and thoroughly satisfying flavour. The CD is surely compulsive listening for all brass and percussion enthusiasts.”

C Brian Buckley
Brass Band World

“This is joyous stuff; an intelligent, coherent crossover disc, performed with phenomenal punch. Brilliantly recorded too – what’s the point of assembling a collective of virtuoso brass players if they can’t make your ears bleed ?”

Graham Rickson

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”

John Sunier

"WOW !!!!! all of you should be locked up !!!! What great stuff - the compositions/arrangements, the playing (OUTRAGEOUS !!! ), everything is simply fantastic. (actually - i couldn't have expected anything less ! ) Many, many thanks to you and all for your superb contributions. yet again, you've managed to raise the bar! (an inch or two is ok but a few yards is really unfair !!!!!!!!!! )"

“Many recordings over the last few decades have demonstrated the superb quality of British brass playing; 'Under the Spell of Spain' will rightfully take its place among them.”
