Review:
This Magnificant recording features Symphony #1 "The Lord of the Rings" by Johan de Meij in its entirety. The military band system has traditionally put together some of the finest musicians in the country and this CD is no exception. The ensemble has great control of intonation, rhythm, and articulations and deliver superb blend and balance.
