These CDs are filled with definitive performances of Neal Corwell’s compositions and arrangements, as performed by Dr. Corwell himself. You will hear him performing euphonium, trombone, guitar, synthesizers, and other instruments on these recordings. Also featured is Velvet Brown on tuba. Highlights include her rendition of Aboriginal Voices (for solo tuba with pre-recorded accompaniment) on the Heart of a Wolf CD, and the teaming up of Velvet and Neal to perform all eight low brass parts for The Furies (also on the Heart of a Wolf CD). For humor, and also blazingly fast and furious technique, one should check out the Out Sitting in His Field CD, which is a collection of some of Neal’s less-than-serious music. Dr. Corwell’s first solo CD, Distant Images, is largely, although not exclusively, serene in nature. It presents a unique soundscape, and is best described as a blending of New Age spirituality with Classical virtuosity.
