New CD by Brian Belét!!
From Brian: My brass quintet Three by Five (composed in 2016) has just been published on Brass Tacks, an album of brass music on the Navona Records label. The three movements of this work were masterfully recorded by the Janáček Philharmonic Ostrava Brass Quintet (Czech Republic), so I am very happy with the final audio result on this album. The album is available as a physical CD as well as a download album (Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, et al). The score will be published in the SCI Journal of Scores sometime later this year. Details on the album can be found on my website as well as on the Navona Records album site. https://www.navonarecords.com/catalog/nv6428/ https://beletmusic.com/
