Recommended band music releases
‘The Royal Swedish Navy Band under Alexander Hanson now presents a first selection of the marches… the marches are given a warm sound… Technically, the playing of the Navy Band is of the highest quality.’ – Pizzicato
‘[Childs’] technical skills are superb, as witness most of the pieces on his album – especially an amazingly fast and clean “Flight of the Bumblebee”. For variety, several song-like pieces are included and show Childs’s thick, very dark tenor-tuba tone to full advantage.’ – American Record Guide
‘Teike’s marches are tuneful and cheerful. All have a prominently thumping bass drum and cymbal, and all (except for the lyrical introduction to “Frisch auf”) are taken at the exact same tempo.’ – American Record Guide
‘There is still nothing not to like about it. Brion… emphasizes details we have never noticed before… And then, of course, he gives us a thrill when he finally unleashes that pent-up enthusiasm.’ – American Record Guide
