Los Metales de Xalapa was a brass ensemble which was formed in the mid-1980s in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. The brass section of the Orquesta Sinfonica de Xalapa had a reputation as the best brass section in Mexico. When I joined the orchestra in 1984, it was largely because of this reputation. I soon formed the brass ensemble, which was active for several years. These performances are mostly taken from our first concert. The Dahl was recorded previously.

One of the toughest projects I ever pitched and then had to deliver. I call these Musical Moments. The project began in Schubert's 200th year (1997). The first dozen, or so, were strictly about Schubert. Then I extended the series into one of general birthdays and anniversaries. Although each segment is only 2 minutes long, the research, writing, sorting out the music, plus the production, could take hours. It eventually exhausted me, and I backed out. That said, it's also some of the radio work of which I am most proud.
