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)

“Under the Spell of Spain is a showcase of virtuosic playing by some of London’s finest brass and percussion players. Highly recommended!”

Jon Gorrie

“This is a wonderfully charismatic disc with playing of the highest quality. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

David Bremner

“Just wanted to give a general shout-out to SUPERBRASS - who are truly super-bad; for my money, one of the most exciting large brass ensembles EVER.”

Rex Richardson
International Trumpet Soloist

“Brilliant technique and superb artistry from all concerned.”

Denis Wick

“This intriguing "water-borne" voyage runs the gamut from more classically-tinged interpretations to straight-ahead and improvised jazz. Along that journey we are treated to a highly inspired and masterfully presented performance.”
