This recording features exciting new performances of popular classics by three of America"s most important composers: Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, and Duke Ellington. The Center City Brass Quintet, one of the world"s pre-eminent brass ensembles, performs these favorites with the same musical excitement and technical brilliance they have brought to their earlier recordings of recital repertoire, such as "Brass Quintets" on Collins Classics, called "one of the all-time great brass recordings" by the American Record Guide (July/August 1997). A brand-new arrangment of music from "On The Town" by Emmy-Award winning composer Anthony DiLorenzo is coupled with the classic setting of "West Side Story" by Jack Gale, performed by brass players the world over but never before recorded. Also included is Gale"s version of "Porgy and Bess", and Robert Elkjer"s arrangements of three Duke Ellington classics, including "Caravan". This is a CD anyone will enjoy; and it"s a must for brass lovers!
