"The very best in brass playing, brass-arranging, and brass-recording…some 21 brass and percussion players display every possible skill in the handling of the superlative arrangements by Eric Crees…music which lends itself ideally; ….West Side Story and El salón México…come up in places shining in a burnished brass colouring more effective than the original. There remains the Bernstein Prelude, Fugue and Riffs…Has a new masterpiece been born?"
