A recording of wind music honoring the distinguished Czech/American composer Karel Husa on the occasion of his 85th birthday.

He has shown a special interest in band music, and this definitive collection of his works for wind symphony includes Music for Prague 1968, one of the mainstays of the repertoire.

"Al Fresco in particular does just about everything you possibly can with a wind ensemble in terms of timbral inventiveness, while still sporting distinctive melodic and motivic ideas that make the music much more than just a dry exercise in texture." (ClassicsToday.com)
