The legendary brass section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, long recognized for its power, dynamism and lyricism, takes center stage in the latest release from the<br>Grammy®-winning CSO Resound label. Cheered for their performances and recordings of Mahler, Bruckner and<br>Strauss, the CSO Brass turns its focus to works by Gabrieli, William Walton and J.S. Bach, as well as symphonic works arranged for brass and percussion by Silvestre<br>Revueltas (Sensemayá) and Prokofiev (Three Scenes from Romeo and Juliet). Percy Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy, beloved by generations of wind-ensemble devotees,<br>is transcribed here in a stunning arrangement by San Francisco Symphony trombonist Timothy Higgins. Virtuoso arrangements by Joseph Kreines of three scenes from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Walton's Crown Imperial feature the entire brass ensemble in thrilling fashion.
