A few days ago I received a copy of a new CD, A Brass Organ Christmas, and it is, musically, as good as Ormandy's The Glorious Sound of Christmas or Robert Shaw's A Festival of Carols; that is, it is wonderful music, and not just great brass music.

This is the first recording of the San Francisco-based Bay Brass, composed of about a dozen great brass musicians such as Peter Wahrhaftig (San Francisco Ballet Orchestra) on tuba and Glenn Fischthal (San Francisco Symphony) on trumpet.

The link, below, has samples of some of the pieces in RealAudio format, while
this link has a few in RealAudio, and all in Windows Media format.
