About
In this seventh volume of Music for Brass Septet, Septura survey two of America’s greatest and most representative composers. Gershwin’s An American in Paris charts a visitor’s stroll around the French capital, absorbing the city’s atmosphere and charm, whereas the synergy of classical form and jazz animates Gershwin’s unique Preludes. Copland’s Quiet City depicts a contrasting and more understated cityscape, while the suite from the ballet Appalachian Spring displays Septura’s luminous virtuosity.

The players blend superbly with each other, and where appropriate they stress the music’s lyricism rather than its brilliance. If you enjoy the sound of brass instruments, this disc is recommended without reservation. A lovely recorded balance completes the picture.
