Finally!!!!!!
About six years ago I found a copy of the score of the complete piano sonata's by Persichetti among a mountain of disorganized music in the basement of Morris Library at SIUC. I had never heard any of his music but was familiar with the name through musical education. ...

Ride

Bliss
I first heard the piece "Ride" performed by the Franklin and Marshall Wind Ensemble. I searched for it immediately on Amazon. It is joyful and exhilerating! The entire album is exciting post-modern music. Enjoy!

Jonathan Cohler: The Clarinet Alone

Jonathan Cohler

Ongaku Records, 1995

Lovely
Every composition well-chosen, every performance well-played. The recording quality is clear with splendid presence. The Paganini--wow! I've already moved the doleful Osborne to my frequent-listening shelf. It's unsurprising the Martino appeals to clarinetists: ...

Love This Recording
I am a classical novice, but I purchased it after reading a favorable review in World magazine. I was expecting blasting, blaring trumpet, but I was amazed that such a boistrous instrument could be played in such a soothing way. I think the trumpet and bassoon make a ...

Monumental Works for Winds

Aaron Copland, Percy Grainger, ...

Naxos, 2006

Spectacular Performances of Wind Band Classics
I'm not quite sure why this album is entitled 'Monumental Works for Winds.' Why 'monumental'? Be that as it may, most of the works included here are among the most popular and most often played by good (emphasis on the word 'good') wind bands. Of course, some of them ...

Brothers Sing On! Classics for Men's Chorus

Washington Men's Camerata, American Anonymous, ...

Gothic Records, 2006

Men's Chorus Sampler
A very enjoyable sampling of works for men's chorus. One cannot find any fault in the Camerata's performance; their harmony and enunciation are equally thrilling. The title song and the Ave Maria were the high points of the CD for me. I had hoped for a bit less of ...
