Description

Not to be confused with the Southern Italian city and province of the same name, A Brindisi is a drinking song. The word is Italian, but it derives from an old German phrase, meaning - offer it to you, which was used to introduce a toast. 

The transformation of that phrase into the current Italian word may have been influenced by similar sounding name of the Italian city of Brindisi, but otherwise the city and the song are unrelated. 

Often used in opera, one character introduces a toast with a solo melody and the full ensemble later joins in the refrain.

“An absorbing selection of refined choices and inspirational highlights. Marvellous."

Keith Ames
The Musician (MU)

“This is joyous stuff; an intelligent, coherent crossover disc, performed with phenomenal punch. Brilliantly recorded too – what’s the point of assembling a collective of virtuoso brass players if they can’t make your ears bleed ?”

“Stunning playing all round and a perfect 'snapshot' of the incredibly high standards of performance in brass playing in London today."

Peter Bassano
Head of Brass Royal College of Music (retired)

“Wow! What a great CD. The playing is superb”
