From the excellent and endearing movie, that will warm your heart and give you a newfound appreciation of not only brass bands, but the trials and tribulations of the decaying mining industry in the times of Maggie Thatcher.

You won't be sorry. The "Rodrigo's Concerto" is brilliant! That lone trumpet with the brass behind it is the most wonderful "En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor" I've ever heard. Usually it is performed on guitar. This was an experience. I liked the rest of the recording, but, the "Orange Juice" as they said in the movie (ha, ha) was beyond description.
really like the movie, "Brassed Off". I also really enjoy brass band music. One piece from the movie, "En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor", was impossible to find in that particular arrangement...Even the great Miles Davis album, "Sketches From Spain", didn't quite compare.
Once again, Amazon came through with just what I wanted, and at a reasonable price. The only thing missing from the soundtrack was the late Pete Postlewaite's impassioned speeches...They are memorable. (Amazon reviews)
Here for instance is a clip from the movie of the band playing Rodrigo's masterpiece (music starts at 0:47) Concierto d'Aranjuez |
