Recording & Production

This recording features an augmented London Brass ensemble, including many star brass players and soloists, which is rare for a single composer's music.

Performer Biography

London Brass was established in 1986 from the world-famous Philip Jones Brass Ensemble, continuing its pioneering spirit in recordings, concerts, and educational events.

Composer Biography

Edward Gregson (b. 1945) began composing at the age of twelve and played in a brass band as a teenager, which influenced his early musical life.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Gregson's musical experiences were shaped by two 'parallel universes': playing brass band music and being absorbed in mainstream 20th-century classical music.

Recording & Production

The recording was sponsored by The Stoller Charitable Trust, The Ida Carroll Trust, Paul Lee, Ray Farr, David Wordsworth, and David and Deiia Triggel.
