For this record, the Geneva Brass wanted to highlight Swiss cre­ations by recording only original pieces for brass quintet by Swiss composers. So let the composers present their work to us. Just like the famous Swiss army knife, the Geneva Brass chamber music ensemble is multi-purpose and multi-talented. Its warm distinctive sound shines while sharply interpreting a Bach fugue, sweetly whispering a Cosma ballad or gently humming a traditional Alphorn melody. The ensemble can be powerful when playing alongside an organ or a big band but can also be soft and tender when accompanying a choir, panpipes or even a harp. The Geneva-based brass is an ardent supporter of Swiss culture and regularly commissions new pieces to expand its repertoire.
