Fort Massacre

Etats-Unis, années 1970. Après la mort par overdose de Patchwork, leader d'un groupe de musique, Abel, son ami et guitariste de la formation, vole le corbillard transportant le cadavre par désespoir. Il s'enfuit avec à travers le Texas, rencontrant nombre de personnes dangereuses durant son périple. Il réalise que Patchwork n'est peut-être pas celui qu'il prétendait être. …

From the nature sounds of the opening to the edgy “heavy metal” of the conclusion: this GENUIN release by the Lake Brass Ensemble is a production full of good humor and meaty sounds! The young musicians under Norbert Stertz perform this richly orchestrated brass music with an impressive low brass group, with two tenor horns and a tuba providing a velvety, fleshy lining to the brilliance of their dazzling colleagues. In addition to two world premiere recordings – Kerry Turner’s Lake Constance Fantasy and Alexander Reuber’s Cerberus – the tracklist features known and unknown, but above all magically shimmering works: film music by Hans Zimmer and John Williams, symphonic selections by Gustav Mahler, and chamber music by Dmitri Shostakovich.
