The
Carl Fischer heritage of
publishing fine band
music has been a fact of
music publishing almost
since the firm's founding
in 1872. With a huge and
expanding repertoire to
draw on, it is a logical
step for Fischer to issue
a series of compact discs
of band music for sale.
With this release, the
Carl Fischer Media Group
begins what we intend to
be the annual release of
a recording devoted to
classic band music.
Bleecker Street Records
is the name of the label
developed for this
purpose and A Perfect
Union is our first
commercial CD. It
contains first-rate
performances of classic
original works for upper
grade band such as
Canzona by Peter Mennin,
editions of celebrated
transcriptions such as
Procession of the Nobles
in an edition by Van
Ragsdale of the classic
Eric Leidzen arrangement
of Rimsky Korsakov's
original and Robert
Foster's edition of Henry
Fillmore's celebrated
transcription of Von
Suppé's Light Cavalry
Overture. Also included
are terrific pieces by
Daron Aric Hagen, Larry
Clark, Quincy C. Hilliard
and Elliot Del Borgo. The
performances by the
Washington and show the
music and the players to
best advantage. This will
be a recording to own and
treasure. Winds under the
inspired direction of
Edward Petersen, are
invigorating.
