 "Pieces crafted to perfection for the Vienna Trombone Quartet and made an invaluable contribution to the making of the CD" 

 Chicago Symphony Orchestra 

Senior Lecturer, Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University

Wonderful catalogue of exceptional arranger Ben Mansted!!

 Principal Trombone, Vienna Symphony Orchestra 

Vienna Trombone Quartet

He is an outstanding artist in saving the unbelievable inner power of music for all different kinds of ensembles. Who could imagine Alpine Symphony or Hebrides Overture for 4 Trombones? But it works, and doesn't lose any of its genesis because of his amazing arrangements!

Associate Principal Trombone, Sydney Symphony Orchestra 

Australian Brass Quintet 

Ben has the rare gift that once you’ve played any of his arrangements, you can’t imagine it could have been written for any other combination. For my whole professional life anytime I have played one of Ben’s arrangements colleagues have been very keen to know who did it and where they can get it - the fact that they are now available for purchase is a huge boon for every brass player’s repertoire.

 Former Principal Trumpet, West Australian Symphony Orchestra

Lecturer, Conservatorium of Music, University of Tasmania

Crafted by an artist possessed of a deeply considered musical sensibility, from Bach and Handel to Wagner and Strauss, attentive and innovative in their use of the broad array of colour available to brass instruments, arrangements written with and for performers in mind. Having performed his work as a soloist, in ensemble with orchestral colleagues, and having used his arrangements as a lecturer at the University of Tasmania, it is clear that Ben's work speaks for itself.
