Argo

Highly approachable 20th century music performed by one of the great virtuoso brass ensembles. The Philip Jones Brass Ensemble featured regularly in the programme of Argo recordings throughout the 1980s. The sheer virtuosity and flexibility of the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble meant that repertory ranged from Renaissance music to original 20th century works and special arrangements. The ensemble is augmented for this recording that includes brass music as well as pieces calling for piano, harps and string orchestra.
