Canadian Brass: Noel CD

"If you were expecting a normal Canadian Brass recording, well, you should know by now -- there isn't any such thing. This group always has a few surprises waiting for its listeners. The CD seems to have tried to cram several disc's worth on to one program. There's an impressive roster of RCA stars -- James Galway, Richard Stoltzman, Jerry Hadley, the King's Singers -- along with a big jazz band and a children's choir. It's a flashy, slick production with lots of instruments, some electric: even Bach and Handel are given a pop flavor. A highlight is the amazing tuba playing of Chuck Daellenbach on an arrangement of Leroy Anderson's 'Trumpet Lullaby'" - David Vernier
