I always enjoy hearing large works that are arranged for brass ensemble. Jay Friedman is a master at conducting and arranging symphonic pieces for world-class brass players. Here is a video of Alain Trudel conducting another star studded group of brass players from all over the world in an arrangement of Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony. What is great about this performance is the fact that you get to hear the intricate details. In a full orchestra, the listener may miss the nuances by the string and woodwinds in the louder parts of the brass. In this video, you get to see and hear those nuances – performed by brass players. The group includes:

Trumpets: Ryan Anthony, Phil Snedecor, Jens Lindemann, Mark Gould
Horns: Martin Hackleman, Natalie Higgins, Jordan James
Tenor Horn: Chris Haigh
Trombones: James Miller, Carol Jarvis, Timothy Dueppen, Simon Minshall
Euphonium: Sion Jones
Tuba: Les Neish
Timpani: Tyler Hornby
Percussion: Kristian Alexandrov, Brian McWhorter, Colin Adhikary
