"If you like classical brass music you will be stunned by this. As a professional brass player for 30 years I can say I have never heard or seen anything like this. 10 brass players in a beautiful cathedral with a live audience play Bach arrangements with such accuracy and flawless intonation that it is truly remarkable. Each player is an artist in his own right and the variety of instruments used is most interesting. I play this whenever I can get someone to listen"

-- Arthur Avery on the American first release of the DVD
