From Europe—Swiss Faces
by the Geneva Brass, Christophe Sturzenegger, hornist
For this album, the Geneva Brass wanted to highlight Swiss creations by recording only original pieces for brass quintet by Swiss composers, so we let the composers present their works to us. Just like the famous Swiss army knife, the Geneva Brass is multi-purpose and multi-talented. The ensemble’s 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 chamber ensemble is an ardent promoter of Swiss culture and regularly commissions new pieces to expand its repertoire.
