Customer Reviews:

Good, modern quintet literature.......2004-12-14

The Florida State Brass Quintet on this disc gives good readings of several somewhat but welcome additions to the brass quintet literature. Both "Raise the Roof" and "Distant Dancing" are cool pieces that make use of some extended technqiues on the various instruments. Also of value are the readings of the Koetsier and a very stylistically-correct Bach. Overall, some very musical moments. All of the players get a chance to shine at various places throughout and they all live up to the task. Though all players play very well, the horn player is especially impressive.

MICHELLE WHO?.......2002-04-11

I HAVE A QUESTION, WHY DID I GET THIS AS A SEARCH RESULT FROM WHEN I WAS SEARCHINF FOR MICHELLE WILLIAMS OF DESTINY'S CHILD'S NEW ALBUM WHICH IS BEING RELEASED SOON??? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DESTINY'S CHILD OR THE MEMBER MICHELLE SO I'M JUST WONDERIN...

mediocre.......1999-11-10

Decent enough, but it's obvious some members of the quintet are more skilled musicians than others. The trumpets are decent but not stunning, the horn and trombone are excellent, but the tuba leaves something to be desired.
