Thanks Tom! I will check it out. The RR CDs sound so powerful.

This is the version of Holst Band Suites that I listen to:

Some of the melodies in the suites are so infectious. One of the movements has three completely diffferent and unrelated melodies and it just rotates through them several times which is easy to repeat ad infinitum in your head. If you get that piece stuck in your head you're doomed. Holst was one of the greatest melodists of all time, imo.

Recently I have been listening to this one:

Gawddamm - I have this Fennel release, had it in my hand last week but didn't play it. I've never played it but owned it since 2010-11. I'll have to dig it out this weekend when I get home.

If you like concert band music then you'll like this, at least the Holst part anyway.

Mark Isham: Castilia

Virgin CD

I liked the older stuf he did for Windham Hill, but this one was just a bit too New Agey for me, but as always, YMMV.
