Royal Northern College of Music Wind Band
Conductor: Timothy Reynish
 

Added December 2006.

This is the type of recording that everyone should have in their collection; one glance at the track listing should tell you why.

Here you have the music that has become the standard repertoire for all military/wind bands.

Those that know of this band will be well aware that he we have a class act; a band that is as good as any service band, in fact, better than most!

We guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

Footnote by Stephen Misson: “This is one CD that I can listen to time after time again and I know my collection would not be complete without the two Holst Suites and the Vaughan Williams English Folk Song Suite”
