TAS List Record Original By USA Wilson Audiophile .............................
Stunning Copy Of A Legendary Recording .............................
A Must Have For All Audiophile Music Lovers .............................

Side One :  .............................

1. Liberty Fanfare (4:14) .............................
Liberty Fanfare was composed for the centennial celebration of the Statue of Liberty in 1986. This fanfare set the stage for one of the most spectacular celebrations in America’s history . .......
                                                                     
2. Commando March (3:29) .............................
Composed in 1943, “Commando March” represents Barber’s first band work. Written in a quadruple meter, the composition utilizes the constant contrast of dotted and triplet rhythms while the melody is presented four times in different orchestrations. .............................

3. Festive Fanfare March (5:11)   .............................
Festive Fanfare March, the third in his series of fanfare marches, received the Ostwald Award in composition by the American Bandmasters Association in 1973. It is a work that is technical, bright in color, and effervescent in Spirit. .............................

4. Victory at Sea (10:14) .............................
Victory at Sea was among the most watched and respected television series in the history of that medium. Richard Rodgers composed the music for the twenty-six half hour episodes. Robert Russell Bennett, the unsurpassed arranger of the time, arranged the music giving it the color and feeling that matched the pictures. Thus we have thirteen hours of music that captures the emotional dimension of war at sea. This arrangement by Bennett samples highlights from those episodes, communicating that which neither camera or word could convey.  ..............                           
 
Side Two :  .............................

1. El Camino Real (10:07) .............................

El Camino Real, which literally means “The Kings Highway”, bears the subtitle “A Latin Fantasy”. The piece was completed in 1985. The first section of music is based on the dance form known as the “Jota”, while the second, contrasting section is derived from the “Fandango”, but is altered in both time and tempo from its usual form. .............................

2. A Santa Cecilia (3:00) .............................
“A Santa Cecilia” is an Italian march written for St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music. Unlike the marches of John Philip Sousa, Karl King and Henry Fillmore, Italian marches are usually lyrical and moderately slow. This march is a fine example of the significant contributions that Italians have made to American wind band music. .............................

3. Symphonic Dance # 3 (6:27) .............................

Composed in 1964. Fiesta is one of a group of five pieces originally commissioned for the 25th anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony. This piece depicts the pageantry of Latin American celebrations - street bands to bull fights. ................................................  ************************************************

The Conductor Lowell Graham :  .............................

Lowell Graham, a native of Greeley, Colorado, has earned recognition as one of America’s most talented young conductors. He was graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees. Additionally, he was the fist person to be awarded the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in Orchestral Conducting from the Catholic University of America. ...
Lowell Graham has led orchestras and bands on record and in performance throughout the world. He is the current conductor and commander of the United States Air Force Tactical Air Command Band.

MUSIC NOTE:  .............................

It's So Hard Knowing Where To Start Or Stop In Discussing This Record .
Fact Is, It's Recorded By Loudspeaker Manufacturer David Wilson, One Of The Best Record On The Planet . (He Wanted Real Music That He Could Witness, Know In His Bones, To Help Him Design The Best Loudspeakers. So He Took Up Recording .) .............................
Next, The People Involved In This Project Reads Like A Hall Of Fame In Audiophile : ............

John Curl (Of Mark Levinson Fame) Designed The Recorder ; Sheffield Lab And Doug Sax Were Pulled In For The Mastering ; Teldec Did The Pressing ; And The Whole Enterprise Was Auditioned Through Wilson WATTs And WAMMs, Utilizing Spectral Electronics From Keith Johnson (Reference Records). ..........

Fact Is, Even Harry Pearson Of TAS Was Present, For Moral Support, I'm Told . ..............
And, Yes, From The First Moment Lowell Graham Starts Conducting The National Symphonic Winds, Give That Listening Chair Seat-Belt A Tug, Ok ?
VICTORY AT SEA, FESTIVAL FANFARE, And COMMANDO MARCH Are Going To Be Blowing Some Major Music Your Way .   (And From An Acoustic You Can Quite Literally "See," The Recording Is So Fine .)
Top Recommendation !!!

************************************************ in German language: ................  Lowell Graham dirigiert die National Symphonic Winds ................

Mit „Winds Of War And Peace“ ist ein echter audiophiler Klassiker und Dauerbrenner der auf den Plattenteller gehört. Graham Lowell, einer der erfolgreichsten Concert-Band-Dirigenten der USA, dirigiert hier die National Symphonic Winds. Besetzung und Repertoire der Concert Band sind, wie die Marching Band, eine rein amerikanische Tradition, die mit europäischen Marsch-, Militär- oder Blasmusikkapellen nur bedingt vergleichbar ist. Auch wenn die Besetzung der Concert Band wie Marschkapelle ausschließlich aus Blechbläsern, Holzbläsern und Schlagwerk besteht, ist doch vor allem das Repertoire Ausdruck eines völlig anderen Anspruchs: Auf dieser hervorragend gemachten Aufnahme von 1988 hört man epische Instrumentalwerke symphonischen Anspruchs wie den „Commando March“ von Samuel Barber, Clifton Williams „Symphonic Dance #3“, die „Liberty Fanfare“ von Filmmusik-Altmeister John Williams, aber auch Werke aus ungewohnten Sujets wie die Titelmusik zur Weltkriegs-TV-Dokumentation „Victory At Sea“ vom Musical-Spezialisten Richard Rogers. Lowell und die National Symphonic Winds beeindrucken mit einem facettenreichen, vielseitigen und leistungsfähigen Klang, der nicht nur mit militärischer Härte, sondern auch mit sanfter Lyrik und großer dynamischer Geste. Das schnöde Etikett „Marschmusik“ kann man hier getrost vergessen - diese Platte ist ein klanglicher Genuss und ein perfekter Einstieg in dieses uns Europäern so fremde musikalische Reich. Spannend und beeindruckend! .................

 [Text kopiert von Sieveking Sound]
Für Winds of War and Peace dirigiert Lowell Graham das National Symphonic Winds durch ein Programm mitreißender Märsche. Die Liberty Fanfare wurde anlässlich der Hundertjahrfeier der Freiheitsstatue im Jahr 1986 komponiert – einer der spektakulärsten Feierlichkeiten in der amerikanischen Geschichte. Samuel Barbers Commando March aus dem Jahr 1943 ist seine erste Orchesterarbeit. Und Roger Nixons Festival Fanfare March wurde 1973 von der American Bandmasters Association als herausragende Komposition ausgezeichnet.

Die hochgelobten Aufnahmen von David Wilson sind für Audiophile purer Grund zur Freude. Der Chef des wohl exklusivsten Lautsprecherherstellers der Welt begann 1977 damit, Musiker und Musik, die er schätzte, selbst aufzunehmen. Immer akustisch, immer unverstärkt. Für Winds of War and Peace nutzte er eine minimale Sennheiser-Mikrofonierung und den Wilson Ultramaster, ein stark modifiziertes Studer-Bandlaufwerk mit eigens dafür entwickelter Elektronik von John Curl. Wilsons Ziel: dem Klang und der Musik, die er aufnahm, so nah wie möglich zu kommen. In den Jahren bis 1995 entstanden 33 Titel (von denen 27 veröffentlicht wurden), die widerspiegeln, wie Wilson selbst am liebsten live Musik hört. ....................

********************************************************************************************Mit »Winds Of War And Peace« nimmt Dirigent Lowell Graham das nationale symphonische Bläserensemble mit zu einem Programm bewegender Orchestrierungen und Märsche. »Liberty Fanfare« wurde für die Hundertjahrfeier der Freiheitsstatue 1986 komponiert. Diese Fanfare war der Auftakt für eine der spektakulärsten Feiern der amerikanischen Geschichte. Samuel Barbers 1943 komponierter »Commando March« repräsentiert Barbers erstes Werk für eine Band. Dieses Werk im Vier-Viertel-Takt arbeitet mit dem ständigen Kontrast von punktierten Rhythmen und Triolen. Roger Nixons »Festival Fanfare March« wurde 1973 von der American Bandmasters Association als herausragende Komposition gewürdigt. Das Werk ist formal, farbenfroh und von überschäumendem Temperament. Das Album enthält auch »Victory At Sea«, »El Camino Real«, »A Santa Cecilla« und »Symphonic Dance No. 3«.
Graham, der aus Greeley in Colorado stammt, ist anerkanntermaßen einer der talentiertesten jungen Dirigenten der USA. Sein Studium schloß er an der Universität von Nord-Colorado mit dem Bachelor of Arts und Master of Arts ab. Als erster erhielt er auch den Titel eines Doctor of Musical Arts in Orchestral Conducting von der Katholischen Universität von Amerika.
Graham hat sowohl Orchester als auch Bands für Plattenaufnahmen ebenso wie bei Aufführungen weltweit dirigiert. Er ist derzeitiger Dirigent und Kommandant der United States Air Force Tactical Air Command Band. ................................. ************************************************
