Obrecht's Barock Ensemble has recently released their latest album titled Barock Brass, and it is a stunning collection of baroque brass music. The album features a range of compositions from the 16th and 17th century, including works by composers such as William Byrd, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Heinrich Schütz.
The ensemble's performance is exceptional, with each member showcasing their virtuosity on their respective brass instruments. The brass section is complemented by a rhythm section consisting of harpsichord, organ, and percussion, which adds depth and richness to the overall sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2," which features a thrilling solo by the ensemble's trumpeter. The ensemble's interpretation of this classic piece is both energetic and nuanced, displaying their mastery of the baroque style.
Another highlight of the album is the performance of Schütz's "Musikalische Exequien," a funeral mass that showcases the ensemble's ability to perform more somber and contemplative pieces with equal skill and sensitivity.
