About

Brass instruments are a vital part of the festive fabric of Christmas, and Tchaikovskys iconic ballet The Nutcracker is made even more joyful with the brassy brilliance of Septura. Narrated by pre-eminent actor Derek Jacobi, The Nutcracker is set on Christmas Eve, with music both rapturous and fantastical. It tells the story of how young Claras favourite present, a nutcracker shaped like a little man, turns into a handsome prince at midnight. Septura has been acclaimed by Brass Band World for its stylistic perfection and beautifully portrayed artistry (Music for Brass Septet 2, Naxos 8.573386).

The performances are sparkling – not quite the full Suite that’s normally performed, and I did miss the Danse chinoise which is omitted here, but perfectly-balanced and wonderfully light-footed in a way that might surprise those who haven’t heard Septura before.

Seriously impressive playing and engineering, and another Naxos bargain.
