Product Description
A hugely popular CD featuring world-class performances of numerous masterpieces by Alfred Reed, the "God of Wind Band Music"! Reed's works are something that virtually every wind band enthusiast (estimated at over 5 million people nationwide) has played at least once. This album brings together only the most popular pieces from Reed's vast catalog, recorded with the ideal combination of a rising star conductor and the Siena Wind Orchestra, a hugely popular wind band that consistently sells out. Even those unfamiliar with Reed will undoubtedly understand his popularity after listening to this album! Incidentally, the concert held at the Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall in January 2006, which took place concurrently with this recording, sold out instantly, leading to an urgently scheduled additional performance that also sold out immediately, demonstrating the immense attention the album garnered. 2006 is shaping up to be a breakout year for Reed, transcending the boundaries of wind band music! Following in the footsteps of Sado & Siena, Kim Seong-hyang & Siena are also poised for a major breakthrough! This highly anticipated album is sure to generate buzz. It will include 8 tracks: Armenian Dances Part I, Festival Prelude, Symphonic Prelude, El Camino Real, Othello (complete), Spring Hounds, Punchinello, Roarelujah!, Laudamus Te. [Recorded] January 21st & 22nd, 2006, Yokohama Minato Mirai Hall (Live + Session Recording)
