BRITISH WIND BAND CLASSICS Royal Northern College of Music Wind Band
Compact Disc — £12.95
Added December 2006. This is the type of recording that everyone should have in their collection; one glance at the track listing should tell you why. Here you have the music that has become the standard repertoire for all military/wind bands. Those that know of this band will be well aware that he we have a class act; a band that is as good as any service band, in fact, better than most! We guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Footnote by Stephen Misson: “This is one CD that I can listen to time after time again and I know my collection would not be complete without the two Holst Suites and the Vaughan Williams English Folk Song Suite” See also: Russian Concert Band Music and Russian Wind Band Classics Playing time: 66 minutes 25 seconds. |

Stephen Misson’s favourite track: The English Folk Song Suite—every time |
|
1934 was a bad year for British music with the death of three major composers: Holst, Elgar and Delius |
