Albums by Septura
Artist Biography
Except for a 2016 Christmas release, the albums of the London brass septet Septura have been numbered, suggesting the group's aim: in place of the usual brass ensemble repertory of Renaissance pieces sprinkled with modern compositions, Septura is attempting to create new brass chamber music covering the entire history of classical music. Septura launched its series on the Naxos label in 2014. Trumpeter Simon Cox has done many of the arrangements, but other members have also contributed. Variety is a hallmark of Septura's albums and performances, with solo melodies being equally distributed among the group, and a resultant mixture of timbre and texture. The group launched a concert series of its own during the 2017-2018 season. ~ James Manheim
