diskant Earlier and historical music. Not exactly the music I would closely listen to, however it's wonderful music for Sunday morning breakfast. It lightens even the most rainy day.

The selection of pieces on Tutti Virtuosi album is a musical bouquet that represents numerous ages, from Medieval to Baroque, from the countries of Europe: Poland, France, The Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Austria – its royal courts, churches and markets. Among pieces presented on this album one will find joyful dances: sarabandes, gavottes, pavanes, galliards, spagnolettos – a true “discotheque” of Renaissance and Baroque Europe! It's worth mentioning that most of these pieces were not composed for this sort of instrumentation. In the case of many, the composers either provided no indication at all, concerning instrumentation, or allowed for various possibilities. More freedom was allowed in rendition then. Thus, Trombastic undertook creating a version for their line-up, expanded like never before, with several other companionable instrumentalists. The instruments invited into this recording are thoroughly unlike trombones: harp, flutes, bagpipes and violin create a different and somewhat more delicate sound tableau. The harp is pure poetry; bagpipes – complex and refined in their own archaic, plebeian way; violin – the nucleus of music. Standing on the titular “forte” side we have the trombones, along with guest baroque trumpets, which supplement Trombastic's power with their golden brilliance, and carry it upwards. In the end we get an interesting line-up, filled with colors and contrasts.

Such a richly enhanced line-up of instruments allows for the group to reach for magnificent forms typical for European music of the 17th and 18th centuries – perfect example is the Sonata Pian'e Forte by Andrea Gabrieli, who composed monumental-sounding pieces for the Basilica of Saint Mark in Venice.
Trombastic: a beautiful power is coming!
