"Hyperion Brass Elements proves that quality and flexibility need not be compromised by budget. Soundiron delivers Chamber Brass sections with a great dynamic range and can deliver both the round warmth we expect for a classic brass choir to the fortississimo splats needed for contemporary scores and trailer tracks . . . very possibly the very best budget buy of the year." - Don Bodin (Sample Library Review)
