- “One of the gems of Philadelphia's cultural life.”
- Martin Goldsmith, NPR's Performance Today

- "The stars of the show were the members of the Philadelphia
Brass. This group has to be the most artistic brass quintet before
the public today and they are the most style-conscious brass
ensemble I have yet worked with."
- Daniel Pinkham
|
- "...beautifully played throughout. The arrangements on your
CD are a long cut above what I've been hearing in recent
Christmases!"
- John Harbison
|
- "...this quintet brings a verve and spirit to brass
ensemble playing that invariably turns the audience into something
resembling a cheering section, while at the same time leaving them
breathless.
- The Sullivan Review, Dushore, PA
|
- "The performance is full, stylistically impeccable, and
well-balanced, showing off consummate technical ability yet never
to the detriment of musical statement. Sounding incredible
effortless, each melodic line is highly polished; the
accompanimental material is always musical."
- International Trumpet Guild Journal (from a review of PB's
"Renaissance and Baroque" CD
|
- "A resplendent new recording"
- Fanfare (from a review of PB's Brass and Organ CD)
|
- "An overflow audience in Moravian College's Foy Concert
Hall discovered what other audiences and CD-buyers already know:
The Philadelphia Brass offers some of the brightest, mellowest
music around."
- The Express Times, Easton, PA
