Brass Band MP3 Downloads
My brother was asking some sources of brass band MP3 files on the Internet. Thus far, I haven’t come across a “master site” of brass band recordings online. With a little digging I’ve turned up a few links to odds and ends:
- Internet Bandsman’s “Everything Within” has a page of resource links. Any link with a speaker icon beside it has some sort of audio file(s) available.
- Curnow Music has a page of MP3 downloads. A number of them are demo clips, but some, like the DeHaske Brass Band James Curnow series are complete recordings.
- The Brass Band portal has a page of downloads. Again, some are sample clips and some are complete.
- Salvo Audio has dozens of complete CD’s ripped to mp3 files; everything from the International Staff Band to the Buenos Aires Central Corps Band. Not sure how legal this is, but for now it flourishes.
- Brasscast. These fellows produce a weekly podcast of brass band music interspersed with interviews and announcements. 20 - 25 minutes in length.
- The Chandos collection of brass band recordings are available for purchase and download. I’ve bought a couple or three albums from here.
- The World of Brass has a streaming radio show called World of Brass Radio. Click the graphic halfway down the page.
