Generally about Melos Brass
...What I would really like to emphasize
referring to this concert, is the happiness I feel for my
collaboration with Melos Brass, who had truly impressed me
with their quality of music. Considering this as a fact I
believe we are able to create a dynamic combination offering
the Greek audience a really elaborate night at the Athens
Concert Hall.
Nicholas Kynaston, organist
...The Melos Brass quintet is absolutely
a world leading ensemble. Solid playing in combination with
a very musical touch made their accompaniments of a high level.
The ensemble switched style as quick as a chameleon and they
showed great endurance and virtuosity in this sold out concert.

About the record "Ionian Composers"
May the recording frequency of the talented
musicians of the marvelous Melos Brass Quintet be productive
and continual. They endlessly offer satisfying and completed
works of musical pieces. The members of Melos Brass dare and
give the audience their new flawless music entitled "Ionian
Composers".
You will be guided to ultimate pleasure just by listening
to their new CD. It's a unique chance for the amateur listeners
to approach the Greek mind instrumental music and with no
hesitation agree - I hope - on the high quality of the performance.
I consider that Melos Brass is equivalent to the most important
brass groups of the music world.

About the record "Music for Brass Quintet"
The high quality performance of the music
pieces included in the new excellent album "Music for
Brass Quintet" surprised us.
They proved themselves to being listed among the eclectic
relatively speaking European Brass quintets.
This really difficult music was splendidly performed by Melos
Brass therefore carrying away its audience to the magic word
of music.
I was inevitably affected by the pulse and love of the performers.

About the record "MELOS BRASS - Greek Composers"
The edition could be characterized as
"an adventure of literary recorded music in Greece".
The interpretations are impeccable; Melos Brass makes its
triumph. Tonal precision, discipline, bright but also expressive
sound that provokes spontaneous admiration and original aesthetic
pleasure.
''DIFONO'' music magazine (2-1999)
The interpretation is perfect from every
aspect thanks to the homogeneity, the accurate aesthetic opinion
and the particular colouring of Melos Brass music expressions.
Its members are musicians with a remarkable presence in the
music area; they have set as their goal the encouragement
of Greek composers in creating plays for brass, wind instruments,
and their presentation. I watch the activities of Melos Brass
almost since its creation (1989) and I believe it has nothing
less of worth compared to other proportional groups abroad.
Thomas Tamvakos, ''JAZZ & TZAZ'' music magazine (1-1999)
About the Christmas record
With their qualitative work Melos Brass

''MAKEDONIA" journal (12-1998)
...at the Athens Concert Hall, with the
organ, the organist Nicholas Kynaston and the marvelous brass
quintet Melos Brass. A magnificent combination and intermingling
of musical instruments.
''KATHIMERINI'' journal (10-10-1995)
...Melos Brass proved that it has nothing
to envy from so many other similar, particularly popular ensembles,
which are so successful abroad. Discipline, homogeneity and
the right accurate aspect characterize its contribution.
''ELEFTHEROTYPIA'' journal (10-10-95)
...The gentle quality of their sound,
the remarkable melodious coordination of the "ensemble"
and the connection of the musical phrases, makes this group
an example for a new beginning in the interpretation of Greek
composers.
