Commemorative 6-Disc CD Set to celebrate the 50th birthday of Franco Cesarini
A commemorative CD Box which offers five CD’s containing original works for concert band, while the sixth features chamber music. The concert band pieces, recorded in chronological order, provide a valuable tool for understanding Cesarini’s steps as a composer and the transition of his style.
Outstanding recordings from previously released Mitropa Music and De Haske CD’s are guaranteed by prestigious concert bands such as the Royal Military Band of the Netherlands, the Johan Willem Friso Military Band and the Civica Filarmonica di Lugano. In addition to the in-house recorded repertoire, it was also Franco Cesarini’s own strong desire to include Interlude for band performed by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra and Huckleberry Finn Suite performed by the Osaka Municipal Band.
The 60-page booklet contains valuable information: all works are numbered, and in addition to program notes, it includes some interesting photographs for concert band music lovers. One features Alfred Reed while studying the score of Franco Cesarini’s earlier work Mexican Pictures.
A valuable and interesting collection of Franco Cesarini’s works until 2011 for both his fans and lovers of concert band music in general.
