Music reviews of Towers of Power

Music Review: Decent album, well performed
Rating: 4 Stars

This is a respectable recording of three intriguing works for soloist and winds. The first - McCarthy's Towers of Power - has a lot of interesting sounds and textures. The third movement is especially attractive. The Plog is a delightful work, the best work on the album. The playing is lovely, and the flute is never lost in the texture. I love the Glass Concerto, and this performance is exciting. The ensemble and soloists play with precision and energy. The biggest problem is the sound quality. The ensemble is muffled and distant, and that undercuts the effectiveness of the music. It is especially disappointing because the first two works sound so good.

Overall a valuable addition to the wind band catalog.
