Reducing loudness and sharpness from recorded movie

[Stief]

I have a problem with the sound of a party I filmed earlier this week.
I am a newbie in filming with a camera, learning every day, but made a mistake.
At the party where I was filming, played a brassband.
I forgot to put the micro level down. The sound is very loud and sharp.
Is there a way to clean up this sound, or to lower the volume and reduce the sharpness.
I use adobe premiere pro, and know that perhaps audition or soundbooth can help, but i am an absolute newbie with these 2 sound programs.
Can anyone give me some tips or manuals to do the job?

Hard to say - can you provide a clip showing the problem ?

Here is a short piece from the brassband playing "Du" from peter maffay i believe.

Seems like it's overloaded, but not in the digital sense (clipping).
See the commnets by GZsound in this thread. This is what I think you've got:

Unfortunately, the prognosis is not good.
