Info zu Inspirations

Buzz Brass is returning to its primary essence with this newest opus, Inspirations! Indeed, following the production of two consecutive albums with guest musicians (organist Mélanie Barney for The Planets as well as harpist Valérie Milot and pianist Matt Herskowitz in Preludes & Rhapsodies), this recording gives entirely way to the brass quintet. As a relative newcomer to the great history of music, the brass-quintet chamber ensemble has been gradually establishing itself, especially since the end of the Second World War. The wide-ranging array of colours and timbres that the brass can generate has been appealing to more and more composers, while arrangers from around the world are now adapting works for this type of ensemble. Buzz Brass is today taking part in the movement with this album’s proposal of transcriptions of major works thanks to the immense talent of two fellow arrangers, François Vallières and Hugo Bégin. They are giving us the opportunity of proudly presenting to you our Inspirations. Enjoy!
