CD British Folk Music for Brass Vol 1 'The Land Without Music
Featuring some of the most highly regarded brass players in the UK The Ensemble of the Golden Bough's highly anticipated debut album ‘British Folk Music for Brass Ensemble: The Land Without Music Vol. 1’ is now available.
‘Top notch playing of top notch new arrangements. A fantastic addition to the brass world!’
– Tom Poulson, Stockholm Chamber Brass, WorldBrass and Co-Principal Trumpet of Västerås Sinfonietta
The CD comes in a beautifully ornate digipack, rather than the standard jewel case, and many listeners choose to exhibit it on their coffee table, or outward facing on a bookshelf as a conversation piece, to display the stunning album art commissioned from Yorkshire based artist Mike Moore. The sleeve contains a 30 page booklet of liner notes with photos of the players, paintings and in depth articles on the composers and folk songs which can be heard on the album.
