This review is from: Music for Wind Ensemble (Audio CD)

If you're looking for an excellent recording of Strauss wind music, look no further! The world renowned Netherlands Wind Ensemble gives an energetic, technically competent set of performances of all 4 major wind works. Good balance, not too top-heavy. Turn it up loud, and enjoy!
