Average Rating:
 Rating: - "It's music that mattters..."This is a great CD if you want a good dose of high-end Brass Band music and playing. "Contest Music" by Heaton is a work originally rejected for use at the National Brass Band Championships in 1973 as it was too far ahead of its time. It was used some years later and has become an iconic piece of brass band writing. This is music written for a top level contest which is highly musical rather than a technical excercise (although it is a technically difficult piece!). Incredible playing of this piece by a band on top form. "Royal Parks" - George Lloyd. Very tuneful and some great sounds. The trade mark "Black Dyke Sound" really shows in the second movement - listen for the pedal notes of BBb Bass legend Derek Jackson. ... Read More: Rating: - Probably one of the very best brass band albums.1985 was a glorious year for Black Dyke; they won every major contest they entered and made this amazing CD, which contains four test pieces played during that year. This was probably the best line-up possible under the baton of Major Peter Parks, the greatest brass band conductor still alive (with the man who has now followed in his footsteps, dr. David King, on assistant principal cornet). And then there's the music! Heaton's chef d'oeuvre; "Royal Parks", with probably one of the most beautiful slow movements in the brass band repertoire; an early work of the genius Vinter; and, my personal favourite, John McCabe's "Cloudcatcher Fells". There's nothing more to want from a brass band CD, or àny music recording! |
