Orchestra: Royal Northern College of Music Wind Orchestra

Conductor: Clark Rundell

18 and 19 March 2006

Don’t be put off if some of the composer’s names are unfamiliar; this is accessible music, infectiously played and expertly engineered.

Classic FM Magazine

Decked out in expert orchestration, played to perfection and recorded in typically sumptuous sound, it provides an ideal conclusion to a splendid disc.

Gramophone

This disc of ‘British Wind Band Classics’ contains some real musical treats, played with relish and a true rhythmic verve…

BBC Music Magazine on CHAN 9697

The Royal Northern College of Music Wind Orchestra is an outstanding ensemble of young musicians, and this entertaining new programme, entitled ‘Homages for Wind’ shows these players at the top of their form. Anyone who enjoys symphonic wind music will want to hear this CD – it’s very well played and conducted, and the repertoire is all very engaging… With good notes and spacious Chandos sound, this is a most enjoyable disc.
