The Dallas Wind Symphony is back in the Meyerson Symphony Center this weekend, recording yet another CD for the audiophile label Reference Recordings. With 14 CDs already in the RR catalogue, this one will feature music by one of the most popular wind-band composers, the Australian-American Percy Grainger (1882-1961). The performances will include all the optional (and rarely heard) percussion parts in the scores. "At several points we will have 15 percussionists, 28 members of the Arts District Chorale, piano, harmonium and celeste," says DWS co-founder and executive director Kim Campbell, "plus the usual assortment of woodwinds and brass augmented by bass saxophone and basset horn." The CD is expected to be out by November. |
