DCD 048 - Walter Ross Chamber Music

We're very proud of this edition of the "DCD Classical 'Cast." In this episode we showcase selections from our newest release, "Walter Ross: Brass Trios."

Ross is a composer living in Virginia (close to the world-wide DCD Records headquarters!) and I've known him personally for some time. A french horn player, Ross writes naturally and idiomatically for brass instruments. His chamber works for brass ensembles are among his most popular compositions.

This new recording was made under the direct supervision of the composer, using a hand-picked cadre of performers. The CD includes all four of Ross' brass trios, as well as his "Twelve Horn Trios."

I'm honored to make this recording available to the public.
