BELLS FOR STOKOWSKI - JERRY JUNKINDAUGHERTY/BELLS FOR STOKOWSKI/JUNKIN-U OF TEXAS WIND ENSEMBLE *HDCD* 'The contemporary works, by Michael Daugherty and David Del Tredici ('In Wartime'), are intriguing, but the real gem is a gleefully anachronistic arrangement of Tylman Susato's collection 'Danserye,' from 1551. The performance exudes the freshness of youth and a sheer joy in music-making. A glorious noise.' - James R. Oestreich, The New York Times 'Keith Johnson's sonics are, as usual, as appealing as most high-rez sources--full and richly detailed, with a killer bottom end and extremely natural decay.' --Andrew Quint, The Absolute Sound Nine delightful Renaissance dances by Tielman Susato start this program with a bang. The ever-popular English Folksong Suite by Ralph Vaughan Williams in its original scoring continues the crowd-pleasing mood. Two important new works follow. A sonic spectacular, captured to perfection by “Prof.” Johnson in his most dazzling HDCD sound.
