Customer Reviews

Best of Percy Grainger
I was pleasantly surprise with the number of selections on this CD (18) and it included his most famous musical pieces played by an excellent wind symphony. If you only know a few pieces of Grainger's music and want to hear more, then this is the CD for you.

Absolutely Wonderful
This was a project designed to give band directors, music educators, and music students an idea of what each work should be played like. This one is just perfect. The ensemble is the world recognized North Texas Wind Symphony under the direction of Eugene Coporon. Each song is played at a very professional level and if you know Grainger and you want to know more about him, this is a perfect album.

I love Grainger
Grainger is great to play and to listen to. I love this 2 disk set of all my Grainger favorites, and some I had not been familiar with.
