Labels for classical brass?



Been having a hard time finding good brass classical recordings. What are some good labels out there to check out. I always just find the same recording such like Wynton, Canadian brass and in a way it's pissing me off. I know there must be alot more stuff out there and I want to expand my collection.

Well here are some. They feature brass and have great sonics:

Keith Johnson (www.referencerecordings.com) and others, have recorded the Dallas Wind Symphony. "Hammersmith" (Holst) and "Fiesta" are two of his terrific albums on CD.

Keep an eye out for direct-to-disc LPs like the two volume set of "Sonic Fireworks" (organ, brass, and percussion) featuring the Atlanta Brass Ensemble (now the Atlanta Brass Society.) I think the ABS has newly recorded CDs.

I like Wynton too, but I like wind/brass ensembles even more. Unfortunately, and I suppose this is heresy, I think the Canadian Brass could use a little more rehearsal ;~))
