Sound gems

Symphonic band gems well performed.

British and American Band Classics, Fennell, Eastman Wind Ensemble, Mercury

Best of this genre

Those who appreciate British and American symphonic band music will love these selections by Gordon Jacob, William Walton, Gustav Holst, Robert Russell Bennett and Clifton Williams. The early Living Presence recordings by Frederick Fennell and the Eastman Wind Ensemble are all classics. The precision and musicianship of Fennell and his ensemble elevated "band music" to the plane of the symphonic orchestra at a time when Mercury's Bob Fine and Wilma Cozart were making a profound impact on audio state-of-the-art with their recording technique using 1 (mono) and 3 microphones (stereo) and high-end recording machines. This deliciously majestic music was the result of that timely union. My understanding is that Mercury's original British Band Classics LP (MG 50088) was recorded in mono only (1955?) and is not available on CD. Selections were Gustav Holst: Suite No. 1 in E-flat, Op. 28a and Suite No. 2 in F, Op. 28b; and Vaughan Williams: Toccata Marziale and Folk Song Suite. When Mercury released British Band Classics Vol. 2 (late 1958) it was available in stereo. This stereo CD re-release (1990) includes the original selections of British composers Jacob: Suite "William Byrd"; Walton: Crown Imperial March; and Holst: Hammersmith, Prelude & Scherzo PLUS selections of American composers Bennett: Symphonic Songs for Band; and Williams: Fanfare and Allegro from another Mercury LP.

The Greatest Generation's Songs

Tom Brokaw called the WWII generation "America's Greatest". This 2-CD gem takes you right back to the pop music of that generation - 40 quality recordings - all original artists. That was America's time, and those were America's songs.
