Sonatas for brass and piano are a tricky thing to pull off; in consequence, they are few and far between. Andrew Lewinter, himself a long-time orchestral horn player and soloist, has decided to add to the repertoire on MUSIC FOR BRASS AND PIANO: crafting four different sonatas for piano and each instrument of the brass family, and concluding with a dazzling piano quartet.

What the Press is Saying..."Four stars: Tuneful, consistently attractive brass music."
-Huntley Dent, Fanfare Magazine |
Two quintets and one trio in classical instrumentation, and the neo-Romantic tonal language to match: it’s a difficult feat to pull off. Lewinter, however, diversifies with minimalist elements and, drawing from his considerable experience as an orchestral performer, imbues his chamber works with symphonic richness. It’s the secret ingredient, and it works.

"There are sublime moments throughout the recording"
"Lewinter's music, performed impeccably by the Jupiter String Quartet, balances the lightness and gravity of evocative music." -Sonograma |
