A promo for the new CD 'Virtuoso Music for Brass- The Complete Works for Euphonium of Jules Demersseman. He was a virtuoso flute teacher in the early 19th century and while working in Paris he met the famous instrument designer Adolphe Sax. Demersseman completed a superb set of pieces for an instrument that is now obsolete, the trombone with six independent valves. Steven Mead , a modern day brass virtuoso, performs these wonderful pieces on the euphonium , accompanied by the famous accompanist Tomoko Sawano. The CD is released beginning November 2009 on the Bocchino Music label.
