THE LONDON TRUMPET SOUND Since 1994 Cala Records Ltd. has made recordings for massed single instrument ensembles, notably "The London Cello Sound" with 40 cellos, "The London Violin Sound" with 48 iolins, and others including violas, double basses, horns and trombones. The defining features of these CDs have been the virtuosity of the participating musicians- including entire ections of the major London orchestras-the powerful sonority of each group, and the quality of the specially commissioned arrangements. With over 165,000 sold worldwide, The London Sound Series has been artistically and commercially successful.
The eight CDs of the series have become "must haves" amongst players and lovers of the arious instruments, and, with "The London Trombone Sound" and "The London Horn Sound", Cala Records has earned high acclaim throughout the world of brass music.
