RR-104 [HDCD] Michael Daugherty is one of the most performed and commissioned American composers of his generation. His music is championed by David Zinman, Evelyn Glennie and Leonard Slatkin, among others. “Bells for Stokowski” is a fantasy in which the composer imagines Leopold Stokowski in Philadelphia visiting the Liberty Bell at sunrise, and listening to all the bells of the city resonate.  RR-137 [HDCD] Four outstanding wind band composers are represented on this album. The title piece by John Mackey, Wine Dark Sea, is the world premiere recording of this important new work. Commissioned by the UTWE for the 100th Anniversary of The Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music, it has been performed in front of ecstatic audiences and received raves around the world. Reference Recordings is proud to present it alongside important works by Dan Welcher, Donald Grantham, and Frank Ticheli. This is contemporary wind band music at its best, in extraordinary performances. | |
