Highly anticipated follow-up to their first release, including rarities by Badings and Villa-Lobos.

The last 50 years has seen an amazing explosion in both the quantity and quality of composition for wind band and ensembles. In a frenetic effort to create new music for the medium, conductors and performers have sponsored, commissioned, and performed a staggering number of new works. It is now, after so much work has been done, that we must take time to rediscover and preserve some of the fine music this period of activity has produced. It would be truly a shame to neglect such a significant body of excellent work. It is in this spirit of preservation that we offer these "old," sometimes forgotten, but interesting works. Also, please note that the flute soloist in the Henk Badings Concerto is Donald Peck, the recently retired principal flute of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Review:

"As it did on the previous recording, the band demonstrates fine intonation, balance and evenness of sound in solo." (American Record Guide)

Highly anticipated follow-up to their first release, including rarities by Badings and Villa-Lobos.
