Music reviews of Class Brass: Firedance
Music Review: Brass lovers rejoice--more from the world's finest quintet.
Rating: 4 Stars
Another grand installment from Rolf Smedvig (trumpet) and EB. Starting off with a fine rendition of Ravel's Bolero, these always consummate musicians flawlessly dash off twenty-two tracks of tunes from the familiar to the obscure. A sumptuous rendition of Holst's Jupiter from The Planets is followed by the eerie and awesome Old Castle from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. Dvorak's Slavonic Dances are then thoughtfully peppered around Mozart, Debussy, and some riveting Bernstein. The big surprises are Bartok's rollicking Bagpipe Music and Mendez's buoyant Romanza. Also check out the spirited Celtic Jigs. As always, the tracks are chosen with care. Newcomers to EB should first purchase the disc titled "Empire Brass" which features Bernstein and Gershwin (a 5++ star). This first effort remains their best, and I don't think anyone would deny it's power and grace. I gladly traveled to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to hear these fellows play and I now own six of their CD's. Rolf Smedvig may be the best living trumpet player (sorry Wynton). Nevertheless, I sometimes wish he would yield more solo playtime to Ken Amis (tuba), Greg Miller (horn) and Mark Hetzler (trombone) who has picked up nicely on Firedance for the missing Scott Hartman--a tough act to follow. You will play this music again and again. It is serious brass!
