Notes and Editorial Reviews
This debut recording of the Stentorian Quartet reveals how popular the trombone has become as an ensemble instrument. Their exceptional playing of works by some of America's most important composers (including three Pulitzer Prize winners) has created an indispensable disc for fans and performers of brass music. Members of the Stentorian Consort include David Begnoche, Barney McCollum, Brent Phillips, and Jonathan Whitaker.
REVIEW:
"[Stentorian Consort's] members... have first-rate tone qualities and technical skills, and they blend beautifully and play expressively." (American Record Guide)
