KHCD-2011-087 (STEREO) – Renaissance Music for Brass – Music by Melchior Franck, Heinrich Scheidemann, Heinrich Schütz, Thomas Stolzer, Pierre Attaingnait, John Adson, Giovanni Gabrieli, Andrea Gabrieli, Adriano Banchieri – Brass Ensemble conducted by Gabriel Masson; Festive Baroque Wind Music – Music by Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Johann Schultz, Melchior Franck, Valentin Hausmann, Daniel Speer, Samuel Scheidt, Johann Hermann Schein, Valentin Hausmann, Andreas Berger, Johann Georg Christian Störl, & Anonymous – Ensemble Musica Antiqua conducted by René Clemencic – A rousing, festive collection of music for brass and winds. The Renaissance brass collection, derived from an early pressing Nonesuch LP licensed by Club Français Du Disque, features a typically bright, biting French ensemble, perfect for the music at hand. The Baroque pieces receive scholarly but still lively performances transcribed from a silver label Archiv LP published in 1966. A wonderful selection of music to brighten a dull day.
