Happily recommended. Philip Scowcroft 0153 PS rev [The complete review will be sent gladly on request.] The programme illustrates three very different styles: Baroque (Vivaldi), Classical (Haydn) and Romantic (Brahms) which is a good test of the versatility of Maya Magub who here shows that she has this versatility in an outstanding way. Very highly recommended. Ian Milnes 0153 IM rev [The complete review will be sent gladly on request.]

On hearing the recording Ian Milnes commented: "The performance of my Brass Sextet of 1972 is one of the finest I've ever heard of any composer's music, both moving and thrilling, and in an excellently varied, thoroughly enjoyable concert, recorded well..."
