New Forest Brass

Barry Thompson:

Very fine opening, well in tune and balanced. Fanfares under control.
D is quite majestic.
F moves on nicely. G - also - didn't hear the 6 before J.
J - Works well also.
M - Nice tempo, good playing, just the odd blemish but doesn't detract - this is very pleasing indeed. Just tentative in closing bars.
R - Good tempo and all is very clear indeed. Most enjoyable.
Z - Good detail and fanfares are fine - good unison.
CC - Earl of Oxford very good style and tempo - chords well balanced.
A performance of stature. Thank you.
