The recording companies continue to produce really first-class material.

Two new offerings, from Doyen and SP&S respectively, are 'Torchbearers', with all the action from the 2009 National Championships and 'The Peter Graham Collection', a double CD of major works by Peter Graham.

The latter receives its first airing on 'Time for Brass' this week with lots more in the weeks to come.
