Customer Reviews

WOW.....simply amazing.
Wow! I cannot express enough how awesome this collection is. The power of Frank Ticheli's compositions combine with the superb playing of the UNT Wind Symphony to create wonderful music to my ears. I especially love Nitro, Sanctuary, and Vesuvius. It was WELL WORTH the money.
