Black Dyke Mills Band
cond. Whitham/Jaeger
EMI CSD 1565
Surprisingly, given the standard of playing and recording, there appears to be no evidence of this album ever having been produced commercially in digital (CD or download) format*. This is truly fabulous playing and the programme is balanced and varied with something for everyone who loves band music: a rousing march, a 'bandstand' overture, a cornet solo (featuring the great Jim Shepherd), a Gilbert and Sullivan selection, '1812' and one or two lighter pieces thrown in.
Nevertheless, as with other posts on this blog, I will willingly remove it from this blog should anyone concerned in its production or copyrighting complain about its presence here on legal grounds.
*Knight Templar and Poet and Peasant in the present recordings have recently appeared however, transferred from Lp, on a recent Black Dyke historical 3-CD set entitled 'Jewels in the Crown' on the Doyen label. Readers are encouraged to track this down, as it covers recordings made between 1905 and 2004.
