Title: This is getting embarassing!
Review: Well....another flailing attempt to keep the Empire Brass afloat. Unfortunately, it's painfully clear that she's taking on water; alot of it! Rolf's sound has been deteriorating rapidly since his Grammy-nominated Haydn/Hummel album and now sounds almost like a percussion instrument instead of a trumpet!Bravo to the BU grads....you sound great. It's hard to believe that just 10 years ago, you were all BU students and now you ARE the Empire Brass and Rolf is very obviously simply along for the ride.In my opinion, the last three Empire Brass albums are complete garbage. They compromise not only the integrity of the original Class Brass CD, but the integrity of the Telarc label as a whole.If you're a serious brass music enthusiast, I suggest looking into the London Brass or the Center City Brass Quintet recordings.Pity!
