This is a good collection of music by one of the oldest and best-known brass bands in the world, now known just as the Black Dyke Band. Seven tracks are transcribed for the brass band while the other three are composed for the brass band. The playing is excellent and the music is very enjoyable. You may want to tap your foot to the music ever so often. These are analogue recordings made in the 70s and have been excellently transferred to digital. The quality is top notch and there is no indication like noise or tape hiss that this is an older recording. It is probably better than many modern compressed digital recordings. If you are a lover of brass music or you want a brass band twist to light classical music this will be a good addition to your collection. If you are new to brass music you may want to try an album which covers more standard brass band music.
