Percy Grainger - Wind Band Classics 2
Naxos 8.573680 Royal Norwegian Navy Band conducted by Bjarte Engeset. Gum Suckers March; Irish Tunes 1 & 2; Merry King; Children’s March; Colonial Song; CPE Bach March; Blithe Bells; JS Bach - See What His Love Can Do; La Bernardina; Four Note Pavan; Intermezzo; Hungarian Fantasy. Grainger liked wind band music and this professional ensemble is a good one. The music is both lively and reflective which neatly summarises the composer himself.
