A Kid's Review

This review is from: Take 9 - Works for Horn Ensembles (Audio CD)

Take 9 is the best CD I own. My favorite song is the second on the track. Farewell to Red Castle. It's the most incredible peice, especially with 9 horns playing it. It is fun and exciting along with slow and beautiful. it's a great representation of the entire collection of Take 9's songs. wOOt!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Recording, September 8, 2003

This review is from: Take 9 - Works for Horn Ensembles (Audio CD)

This is an awesome recording combining 9 great players. The music is beautiful, but still showy, an excellent combination for this group of horns. Overture to Candide is incredible, and the Grand Canyon Suites is one of the greatest horn recording I have ever heard. This recording belongs in any horn players library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Horn Album, March 26, 2006

This review is from: Take 9 - Works for Horn Ensembles (Audio CD)

The hornists are simply fantastic. Many segments of the music thrill me, nearly take my breath away. Although many pieces represent their diverse skills I would love to have a presentation of more of the fanfare type pieces, the type which show the glory and power of the horn. Love the Ewazen piece. Love the Irish pieces. Thought the recording was a little muffled. Had to turn my stereo up too loud to get the full effect. Over all one great horn album.
