Review:
Frederick Fennell is an icon in wind band conducting and demonstrates his artistic abilities with four well known works. His musical nuances and interpretations make this performance fresh, exciting, and full of energy. The group which includes members from the Cleveland Orchestra has a warm, rich sound and features many fine soloists in the Holst Suites.
