There are many brass recordings available today with ensembles which are even technically more advanced, but nothing can compare with Philip Jones, because the PJBE is not only pure precision playing, it's musicality too and it's smart arranging. Jones understands how to use the characteristics of each instrument. He lets room for Tuba or Horn too, its not just Trumpet always playing the big parts like Empire Brass does.

It is ironic that London/Decca waited until many of the important members of the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble were dead before finally releasing this collection of highlights from the ensemble's considerable catalog. Don't misunderstand me! I am thankful for this substantial 2 cd set. For fans of the PJBE there is real cause for celebration; and for those who are just discovering the work of this important brass ensemble, you are in for a treat.The remastering is first rate and you can't beat the 2-fer pricing. Get this set while its available because the wait for more will at best be a long one. Thankfully, I still have most of the PJBE recordings on vinyl and a good turntable for playing them. But I would still be near the head of the line to snatch up any subsequent reissues. Years ago I saw several of their recordings on cd, but foolishly passed on them, thinking they would be in circulation for awhile. Silly me. Like I said, grab this before they post the infamous notice "no longer available." When the PJBE made it's first American tour back in the 70s I was already a huge fan. I went to hear them play, never expecting the concert to sound as good as the recordings. They opened with the Tylman Susato Renaissance Suite and their playing immediately blew away any Memorex memories of their recordings. Unfortunately, we will never again hear live such virtuosity and musicianship. The recordings DO serve as a fine memory of the first and foremost brass ensemble.
Great start! Now where is the rest? May 31, 2001

I have always been a huge fan of the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble. They set a very high standard of playing and the recordings, most of which are not available on CD, are excellent.
Where are their landmark recordings of such works as the Hindemith works for brass ensembles: Concert Music for Strings and Brass, Morgenmusik for Brass, Concert Music for Piano, Brass and Harps which they played flawlessly?
Where is their outstanding recording of the Gunther Schuller Symphony for Brass?
Please, Decca, give us more of the full course, not merely the teasers and encores.

Un grand merci aux créateurs de ce projet. Retrouvez les pionniers du cuivres en 2cds, qu'elle superbe idée. Byrd, Bozza, Arnold, Susato, Ewald, Arban, et j'en passe. Vraiment se double album est un délice pour nos oreilles. Alors à quant un double album avec les oeuvres contemporaines telles que: Addison, Dodgson, Salzedo, Premru, Bennett ? Le plus vite possible !!! Merci
