“This is an outstanding CD!
Gilles Rocha shows all the aspects of a great virtuoso; dazzling
technique, beautiful lyrical playing and imagination. Above all,
throughout this CD it’s felt that he’s having a great time on his
baritone! This CD is true enjoyment, not just for the serious brass
player.”
"Gilles is a
youthful virtuoso, a Star of the Baritone, from the Treize Etoiles
Band in Switzerland. With a wide range of music drawing out his
skills and his natural talents to the best advantage, he can be
heard with great enjoyment on this CD."
Howard Snell
"[...]Throughout the recording, Gilles Rocha displays cast-iron
technique, which is mind-blowing at some points, especially when he
displays an enviable command of the high register of the
instrument.[...] The CD ends with a fun, multi-tracked piece named
The Crazy Turkey., again put together by the soloist, a
fittinf end to a very enjoyable release which will give the baritone
players looking to improve their technique and high register
something strive towards"
Robert Richardson, British Bandsman
