CD Reviews

Early CD by the great dean of American bell ringing
02/25/1999
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is the earliest CD recorded by Don Allured directing the Westminster Concert Bell Choir; it consists of a number of original works, such as "Bandelier," "Bellfest," and "Rondo Passacaglia," in addition to well-known arrangements by the finest arrangers. Pay special attention to the interesting "Metamorphosis," which centers around a whole-tone scale. Westminster played on what was then the widest range of handbells in existence: 7 full octaves. Don Allured is a pioneer for the musical possibilities of handbells and has influenced musicians across the world. As an early CD, it suffers from poor recording technology and sonic reproduction, but its historical value and treatment of inventive repertoire is worth the investment."
