I just got this cd in the mail a little while ago.Formed by the principal trumpet of the new york phil it consists of some interesting instrumentation..2cornets,e flat british tenor horn,british euphonium,and tuba.A very interesting sound.They have an active Facebook page that has lots of recordings of some very traditional brass quintet rep that folks should really listen to.

I second this recommendation. They also have a website and a YouTube page.

Typical quintet instrumentation derived from British brass bands. It gives a mellower sound than the trumpet-F horn-bone-tuba instrumentation. And man, what a personnel list!

A mini British brass band.

This is great playing and I'd have it in my regular round of music listening if it weren't for the fact that I have like 4 other recordings of everything they've played on their album.

Hard to knock Chris Martin's playing though....

Ewald #1 was scored this way in the 1911 Belaieff print edition (except baritone for euphonium).

This is great! Really great.

Though I would like to see a British 3+1 E flat tuba to go with the otherwise British instrumentation.

When I was in youth orchestra, Mark Ridenour would come work with our brass section. What a treat.

He would also show up to Tuba Christmas with an F tuba and play along.

Eb Tenor is lots of fun.
Highly recommended if you want to take something to a sing-along but you want to leave tuba/euph at home.
(Of course there are many excellent, serious players.)

I'm surprised they don't start more children on this instrument. Good sizing and a way to develop technique no matter which instrument the kid gravitates to.
