Customer Reviews
Disappointed
The Eastman Wind Ensemble is a respectable group with a history of being among the best bands that record marches and other band music. When I opened the CD, I was in disbelief that it had been recorded in mono instead of stereo. Who records with one microphone in the 20th century?
The quality was less than desirable. Some of the tracks display the distinct Eastman Ensemble trademark. However, listening to "La Fiesta Mexicana" was a huge disappointment. Horns were out of tune. The tempo was entirely too fast. All in all, this recording is a complete disaster.
Fennell Interpretation
For Band Conductors / Teachers, there is no better conducting interpretation than those of Frederick Fennell. Tho these recordings are not new recordings, they are still viable interpretations. Glad to see them still available.
Keystone Does Canzona and La Fiesta Better
The Songs of Abelard Disc has the definitive Canzona on it. The recently-released H. Owen Reed disc has a much better La Fiesta on it as well.
