Iag Bari: The Gypsy Horns From the Mountains Beyond (2001)

Fanfare Ciocărlia, from the village of Zece Prăjini in north-eastern Romania, are famous for speed, and this 2001 album shows how much control lies behind it. Fast dances in odd metres keep their groove through crisp unison breaks, and clarinets trade phrases with tenor horns and tubas. Choose it for brass that is thrilling but never sloppy.
