NAXOS: 8570968

Naxos continues its Wind Band Classics series with another winner. Led by veteran band conductor Eugene Corporon, the Lone Star Wind Orchestra plays so tightly you couldn't slip a sheet of paper between sections! And they need to be on point, as these original and arranged works are rather sophisticated, beginning with John Williams' fun, flashy arrangement of our National Anthem to new discoveries like Steven Bryant's jazz fusion-infused Radiant Joy, and a chance to let loose in Rhapsody in Blue.
