Description
Because of their age and their cultural ubiquity, brass instruments, more than most members of the Western orchestra, carry a host of cultural associations: angelic trumpets, royal fanfares, hunting calls, Last Posts and Louis Armstrong. No composer can be insensitive of that back story, yet it need not impose sterility of conservatism… Hübler opened up numerous possibilities in the controlled, structured parametrisation of instrumental practice. This disc records a recent period of attention to virtuoso brass music, to which Cercar is an ancestor.
