Plus a lively encore to finish his Show!

Brett prepares track recordings in his studio at home in Nottingham. To perform orchestral music, for example, “The Blue Danube”, it is impossible to play it in the style of a full symphony orchestra – it’s just impossible to play all the instruments required at one time. A Symphony Orchestra can consist of up to 20 sections. It just goes to prove the amount of musical theory, creation and patience needed to create a masterpiece. The sounds from the Wersi Scala are amazing – the use of “real voices” in, for example, country and western film music, are a joy to listen to and it certainly made some of us feel like dancing! Thank you, Brett, for a brilliant Show.
