Alexander Jeantou brings us a fascinating collection of pieces to give the tuba its moment in the spotlight, alongside his brass section colleagues. This wide-ranging programme has it all, from Calvert’s spirited and buoyant French march through to the jazzy, almost cabaret feel of Previn’s Four Outings for Brass.

Michael Tippett’s Prelude, Recitative and Aria derives from his astringent opera King Priam, first performed in Coventry. The music of Louise Farrenc is seeing something of a renaissance in recent years, and her Sextet for wind and piano reveals a distinctive compositional voice. André Previn’s Trio reveals his wide-ranging musical interests, with jazz rhythms to the fore in its rambunctious final movement.
