Review: Being a trumpet player in college, I get the opportunity to see lots of groups like the the German Brass, but none of them compare. These guys are freakin' amazing! Their intonation, style, and sound quality is just about as close to perfect as any group could get. It's one thing to hear something like this on a cd. It adds so much more being able to see these guys play. I watched this in a room full of music majors- mostly brass players- we were all floored. If you are a brass player you should definitely get this. Even if you don't like/listen to Bach, you will love this.

Summary: Fine Brass Playing
Review: German Brass gives a perfect example of what brass playing should be! Their pipe organ like sound creates a beautiful scene at the site of Bach's Grave. The peices are exciting and tastefully aranged. It starts with a great Vivaldi peice with an awesome valve trombone solo. The ending is nothing less than spectacular with Bach's toccata and fugue in d minor. The french horns play with power and the trombones and tubas are top notch, but the star of the show must be the trumpets with their ear pleasing accuracy and incredible , well , ... everything. This DVD was awesome.

Review: I purchased this DVD on the recommendation of the principal trombone of the Dallas Symphony and have enjoyed it thoroughly. The playing is first rate (hats off to Enrique Crespo for the immaculate valve trombone work on track 3). The camera work is tastefully done with just the right amount of shots of the Thomas Kirche (including Bach's resting place). It is also highly interesting to view the large variety of instruments used throughout the performance. If you enjoy Bach and/or brass music you will not be disappointed.

Review: If you like classical brass music you will be stunned by this. As a professional brass player for 30 years I can say I have never heard or seen anything like this. 10 brass players in a beautiful cathedral with a live audience play Bach arrangements with such accuracy and flawless intonation that it is truly remarkable. Each player is an artist in his own right and the variety of insruments used is most interesting. I play this whenever I can get someone to listen

Review: This DVD is great!

German Brass playing live. Well, I am not 100% sure if the audio is really live because there are times when it sounds like it was doubled in studio.

Anyway, it is a great performance and you should have it.
