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.

“Another impressive offering then from Superbrass, and a worthy successor to their excellent debut disc”

“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 ?”

"WOW !!!!! all of you should be locked up !!!! What great stuff - the compositions/arrangements, the playing (OUTRAGEOUS !!! ), everything is simply fantastic. (actually - i couldn't have expected anything less ! ) Many, many thanks to you and all for your superb contributions. yet again, you've managed to raise the bar! (an inch or two is ok but a few yards is really unfair !!!!!!!!!! )"
