The Canadian Brass consists of Fredrick Mills, Ronald Romm, Graeme Page, Eugene Watts, and Charles Daellenbach.  This is one of their earlier recordings on the RCA Red Seal label.  It consists of the Pachelbel Canon, J.S. Bach's works, Handel's "Water Music," and Frescobaldi's Toccata all on one disc.  This along with The Canadian Brass's other work, High, Bright, Light, and Clear:  The Glory of Baroque Brass is recommended for those who like 17th century and early 18th century Baroque masters.
