In Concert With The University Of Illinois Symphonic Band Recording #125

Overview

In Concert With The University Of Illinois Symphonic Band Recording #125 --- 1994

From the booklet notes: The current series of "LIVE"--IN CONCERT" compact disc recordings by the University of Illinois Symphonic Band is a continuation of the project begun many years ago by Mark Hindsley and continued by Harry Begian throughout his tenure as Director of Bands. These recordings prove a valuable resource of repertoire for music educators and band/wind ensemble enthusiasts. As technology advanced and costs escalated, the phonograph recordings were discontinued in the the last 1980's and cassette tapes were produced. A few of the performances on this CD series were originally produced on records and tapes and have been remastered on compact disc. Nearly all the selections were recorded live in concert, thereby accompanied by the occasional noise and the dreaded cough (even a mute drop on one occasion). However, these minor flaws are more than compensated for by the expression, nuance, energy and excitement that is to be heard in "LIVE - IN CONCERT".
