Editorial Reviews
THE ABSOLUTE SOUND
"Johnson’s sonics are, as usual, as appealing as most high-res sources – full and richly detailed, with a killer bottom…"

BEST OF 2004 THE NEW YORK TIMES
"The performances exude the freshness of youth and a sheer joy in music-making. A glorious noise."

Album Description
This album includes world premiere recordings of three important new works for wind band, plus an old favorite. The University of Texas Wind Ensemble has established itself as one of America’s elite wind bands, and this is its first commercial recording. David Del Tredici’s music is widely performed by all major orchestras. In Wartime, based on the hymn tune "Abide With Me" and the Persian National Anthem, is his first piece for wind band. Michael Daugherty is one of the most-commissioned composers of his generation. Bells for Stokowski is a colorful fantasy in which he imagines Leopold Stokowski visiting the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and listening to all the bells of the city resonate. Bells for Stokowski was named one of the Best CDs of the Year by The New York Times, and earned a Golden Ear Award from The Absolute Sound. Colorful, audience-friendly scores and a large ensemble of winds, brass and percussion are a sure recipe for thrilling sonics, especially! in "Prof." Johnson’s transparent HDCD recording.
