Excellent! September 15, 2009
Daniel W. Shelles (Atlanta, GA USA)
End to end, this is one of the best performances of type I have had the pleasure of hearing. True excellence in all aspects, from arrangements through individual players and selections.

 Value for Money October 10, 2007
Israeli reader (Ramat - Gan Israel)
In short - although most of the works are not written originally for brass, the musicians are very talented, and the CD is a good example for Value for Money!
Amazing! The reason I decided to become a music major! November 18, 2002

This is one of the most inspirational CD's I have ever listened to. Not only is the playing perfect, the choice in music for the CD is perfect. It provides the listener with several different styles, and yet many similar styles. The group plays the traditional Russian pieces with flair and great musicianship, such as the Stravinsky and the Shostakovich. The main reason that I enjoy this CD is that each player is performing their best for this album. Each player sounds even more amazing than they usually do. I especially enjoy when Sam takes the tuba solo from Russian Sailors' Dance down an octave. Each performer from this group is one of the best in the world on their respective instruments. In conclusion, all I can say is that this CD is amazing.

This was the first brass quintet cd I ever purchased, and it has been by far the best. This group's sound is seriously unparalleled by any other quintet, including Canadian Brass. The blend and unity of style is so perfect that one is encompassed by the music, hearing each part individually and as part of the whole at the same time. Playing arrangements of excellent orchestral music, the Empire Brass Quintet truly demonstrates its virtuosity.
