"People familiar with American bands, like the Eastman Wind Ensemble, might be a little surprised by the sound of the Black Dyke Mills Band. It is much mellower than the American sound. The richness of tone is beautifully captured by Chandos's engineers, at the peak of their form. The Band features superb soloists, especially the cornet and horn soloists, the latter being heard in his own arrangement of a work based on The Carnival of Venice. The works on this CD all are linked in some way to the history of the Band. There are stunning arrangements of the final movement of the New World Symphony and of Rimsky-Korsakov's Dance of the Tumblers. You can't help but smile at the Band's performance of British Marches, and their encore of Offenbach's Can-Can is suitably whimsical and virtuosic. This CD is a superb introduction to the world of the British brass band and should be savored as a delicacy."
