Brass of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra conducted by Ivan Meylemans The original idea for this CD came from the Prix de Salon, an incentive prize for young musicians from the Concertgebouw Orchestra that must be used for their further musical development. The prize was initiated in 2005 by the Salon, a group of young professionals from prominent firms who wished to support the younger members of the orchestra in particular.

RCO 07002 [read the critics]

 

Ivan Meylemans was the first winner of this prize and saw it as a way of planning a recording of lesser-known repertoire by well-known composers for the Brass of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as well as of providing further encouragement for the ensemble and its good internal relations.

The money from the Prix de Salon would be used for the recording sessions and the release would be arranged through RCO Live, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra’s own recording label.
