BUY THIS! January 31, 2003

This is a based on the works of one of history's greatest composers. Grainger is my personal favorite, as he writes many melodies for saxophone. "Molly on the Shore" is probably my favorite track on the album. If ou find that you enjoy this, search out a recording of Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy", it is quite possibly the greatest piece ever written.

This is one of those discs that sneak up on you and grow in delight with each playing. The ensemble playing is crisp and spirited and the melodic intervention rich. The adaptation of the Franck Chorale for band is priceless. I look forward to exploring Mr. Grainger's opus as a result of this disc.
