One of my favourite Holbrooke cds. I particularly like the selection of music on this one;particularly the Dylan Prelude......but then again,everything on it. The playing is a little ragged,but imho displays a certain enthusiasm which lifts it above the flak it generally receives from listeners. Fair play,the Plovdiv (Louis Glass,Danacord) they are not! That said,I would obviously love to hear what a really top notch team,and label,could do with this music;perhaps coupled with The Wild Fowl;a work which Albion has mentioned more than once,and I hope I will one day get to hear. Not wishing to jump the gun;but enough material there for a possible Cpo Vol 4?!! ;D I can't wait to hear Holbrooke's brass blaze out in all it's glory. Remember that Marco Polo cd of Bantock's Hebridean Symphony? When the Hyperion recording came out the brass section came as quite a shock,after the muffled raspberries that passed for horns in the MP recording!
