Info for Strauss: A Tribute to Johann Strauss on Brass

German Brass celebrates the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss with a brand-new album. It contains works by the composer and also works by some of his contemporary companions, such as Chopin, Brahms and Kreisler, that have been arranged as a programmatic "bouquet" around Johann Strauss. Matthias Höfs did the arrangements for the ensemble, presenting a lively new brass sound to known titles from the second half of the 19th century.

German Brass
Those who know German Brass will be aware that they do not limit themselves to classic brass music along the lines of the trumpet fanfare. This is an ensemble which blends great virtuosity and sparkling musicality with more than a dash of wit and charm. Their concerts are pure entertainment, spanning the genres from pop through classics and jazz to film music. The success of this approach can be judged by the four decades of the ensemble’s history. The musicians – ten soloists and college professors – have always succeeded in creating a completely new sound of their own for each of their projects, reinventing and rediscovering it in every concert and on every recording. German Brass does more than produce a sound, it celebrates that sound and makes it an experience for each new audience.

This album contains no booklet.
