Digital Booklet

|||||
This third volume in a series from Septura continues to redefine the brass ensemble as a serious artistic medium by creating a canon for brass septet, answering the question "what if these works of art had been written for brass?" Charting a turbulent 70 years of Russian history, the music on this album stretches back from the stark Soviet soundscape of Shostakovich through the early modernism of Prokofiev to the pre-revolutionary opulence of Scriabin and Rachmaninov. The focus here is piano music with one prominent exception, perhaps Septura’s most ambitious transcription to date, Shostakovich’s profound and deeply personal Eighth String Quartet.
