I was going to post details of this one, as I didn't know whether it would appear here due to the wind accompaniment!

Brett's playing is well up to his usual standard, and the programme is very worthwhile, making a useful companion piece to Monument - Marc Owen has one item on each disc. The accompaniment is never less than competent, although I did feel the sound wasn't as clear as it could have been.

I would recommend this to anyone interested in Brett's playing, or trombone repertoire in general.
