Out of print 2000 CD on the Dynamic label containing three concertos for brass instrument and band, one concerto for clarinet and band, and one symphony for band. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Concerto for Trombone and Band is pretty much the trombone/band concerto, a rousing three-movement-plus-coda work. Amilcare Ponchielli's Concerto for Trumpet in F and Band is an early-romantic/virtuoso work a la Paganini. Patrizio Esposito's Trumpet Concertino is a pounding, quite modern work with a lot of dissonance and stratospheric overtones. Artie Shaw's Concerto for Clarinet and Band is a jazzy gem, nothing serious but a lot of fun. He wrote this concerto for performance in a movie. Or rather, wrote the parts for the ensemble -- the solo line he entirely improvised. And Vincent Persichetti's Symphony for Band, op.60 is a five-movement work of Piston-like Americana. Patrizio Esposito leads the Italian Air Force Orchestra.
Disc, booklet, and case are in near-mint condition, except there's some wrinkling along the bottom of some of the booklet's pages..
