Howard Snell and the Fodens Band. The Music of Howard Snell
An absolutely fabulous CD in all respects - the quality of perfomance, the breadth of repertoire and of couse Howard's masterful skill of arranging and original composition. The highpoints are too many to mention - but here are some of my favourite moments from the CD : The organ like quality, and perfect balance which Howard and the band achieve in the two Bach arrangments i- "IN THEE IS JOY" and "ANDANTE" is just wonderful to listen to. The featured solo playing of Richard Poole on Eb. Soprano Cornet, Glyn Williams on Euphonium and Helen Williams on flugel Horn is absolutely superb - not to mention some outstanding playing by other individuals and sections in the band - trombones, basses and percussion. Quality of sound and balance across all dynamics is perhaps this CD's most enduring quality.
