Jerry Junkin – Bells for Stokowski (HDCD)

The album begins with nine wonderful Renaissance dances by Tielman Susato. These are followed by the popular „English Folksong Suite” by Ralph Vaughan Williams in the original setting. David Del Tredici’s „In Wartime,” his first composition for a wind orchestra, follows as an important contemporary work with roots in the famous hymn „Abide With Me” and the Persian national anthem. Michael Daugherty is one of the most performed American composers of his generation. „Bells For Stokowski” is a fantasy in which the composer transports Leopold Stokowski to Philadelphia, where he hears all the city’s bells ringing. Amazing HDCD sound, recorded to usual perfection by Prof. Johnson.

Released in 2004.

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
