"This recording marks the 40th Anniversary of the American Brass Quintet. What better way to celebrate than to release a disc of a typical concert program - have a second CD of brass quintets (Dahl, Sanders, Carter, Whittenburg) in the works for release later this year - perform their latest commissions of Melinda Wagner, David Sampson, Henri Lazarof, and Anthony Plog - and celebrate 30 years of residence at the Aspen Music School and Festival. The playing is immaculate. The repertoire is diverse as ever. This recording represents 40 years of the best in brass chamber music."
ABQ all the way.

"What a fantastic CD. The ABQ is one of the best brass ensembles in the world. This recording is the 40th anniversary of their existence. The music covers from Renaissance right up to the modern era. Crisp, clean and very exciting to say the least. The CD was delivered earlier than expected which is a nice surprise. Thank you Amazon!!!!"
