We are very proud to present to you the fourth album with the Omnibus Wind Ensemble!
This time the Omnibus Wind Ensemble have chosen favourites from the rich world of opera.
Since the start of 1982, the ensemble have performed opera overtures - it has really become something of a specialty, which always has been so very much appreciated by the audience. Opera Pearls includes nice and sparkling overtures as well as beautiful and seducing arias. At the same time we find serious dedication and spiritual humour; strong characters which suits the Omnibus Wind Ensemble's unique instrumentation so very well (actually, their instrumentation is the only one of it's kind in the world).
This is an inspired and fresh performance!
