Sparkling world premiere performances of French music for wind ensemble.
The Atlanta Chamber Winds led by Robert J. Ambrose, offer a sparkling concert of music for wind ensemble by composers who lived and worked in Paris. All but one (the Pierné) are world premiere recordings and offer a substantial addition to the wind ensemble discography. Perhaps most interesting is Francis Chagrin who was born in Bucharest as Alexander Paucker but moved to Paris in 1928 and changed his name. He was most famous for his film music but he also wrote chamber music, two symphonies and songs.Contents:

Review:
"...No matter the style, though, these are Frenchmen at work, and each piece requires superb technical command, careful balance, sensitivity, energy, and humor. Fortunately, the Atlanta Chamber Winds bring all of this to table and more; each individual is an accomplished professional who shines as a brilliant soloist and yet blends seamlessly into a colorful soundscape. ...Ambrose deserves kudos for putting together a first-rate group and supervising an excellent recording debut." (American Record Guide)"These performances...are nothing less than impeccable and thoroughly idiomatic; a group of actual French musicians could not improve upon them." (Fanfare)
