Carols for Brass, Vol. 2 was submitted as part of a survey of audiophile Christmas recordings. Most of the recordings from other sources were unexceptional, but Carols for Brass, Volume 2 caught my ear immediately. One side trumpets out your everyday stand-outside-the-window-with-Bing-Crosby carols (Joy to the World, Deck the Halls, and so forth), but the other side is a surprisingly fascinating collection of lesser-known carols (including two by William Billings). Brass buzzes on this disc just like it does in small concert halls. There is a joyous, raspy blattering here that anyone who loves brass bands will recognize immediately. --Fanfare Magazine
