This isn’t one such, because it’s remained in the Nimbus catalogue throughout, but I did want to draw brief attention to this super-abundant, characterful, and wholly marvellous five CD set of the complete piano music, played by the indefatigable, stylistically apt Martin Jones. He’s one of the undersung masters of a variety of repertoire – as good in Iberian music as he is in British, I’d suggest. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Here his encyclopaedic survey acts as a modern day cornerstone. You should hear his recordings, if you are excited by Grainger, and compare and contrast them with the composer’s own recordings which fortunately – all the 78s at any rate – have recently been reissued in a five CD set by APR [7501]. The experience is both exciting and diverting. But Grainger only recorded (and re-recorded) a fraction of his own pieces, whereas Jones has collared the lot. And how! \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e The first disc starts with some classic Grainger; the brio, clarity and speed of Jones’s take on \u003ci\u003eHandel in the Strand\u003c\/i\u003e is a tonic whilst \u003ci\u003eTo a Nordic Princess\u003c\/i\u003e rises to a passionate pitch of assertion. \u003ci\u003eIn a Nutshell\u003c\/i\u003e is a suite the charms of which seldom pall, and in this performance Jones crafts an unusually expressive \u003ci\u003ePastoral\u003c\/i\u003e, slow and spare then incrementally building up in sonority, power and speed. The playful and vibrant badinage of \u003ci\u003eThe Immovable Do\u003c\/i\u003e is especially well realised – one of the very best moments in this opening disc - though the reflective and beautiful \u003ci\u003eColonial Song\u003c\/i\u003e runs it, very differently, close. Those who have never come across the roistering cakewalk of \u003ci\u003eIn Dahomey\u003c\/i\u003e are in for a treat. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e The second disc is given over to arrangements. To a degree it’s of less pressing interest to the Grainger novice, but it’s essential ground for those who want to understand his enthusiasms and the musical means by which he conveyed them. The opening of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto makes some fearsome demands on the intrepid solo pianist whereas the Brahms \u003ci\u003eCradle song\u003c\/i\u003e that cannily follows it is delightfully spun – lissom legato, not lion-hearted virtuosity. His arrangement of \u003ci\u003eNimrod\u003c\/i\u003e is probably quite well known but that of Rachmaninoff – the finale of the Second Concerto – probably less so. I must admit that the Dowland transcription, of \u003ci\u003eNow, O now, I needs must part\u003c\/i\u003e, is absolutely irresistible in Jones’s performance. He really does have the touch for refinement in these works. Of the other works, it’s interesting to contrast Grainger’s own 1929 78 of the \u003ci\u003eRosenkavalier\u003c\/i\u003e with Jones’s. Then there’s the convoluted tribute to Stephen Foster, the well-known Bach \u003ci\u003eBlithe Bells\u003c\/i\u003e and the same composer’s Fugue in A minor – it reminds one of Bach’s importance to Grainger, as performer and composer. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e The third disc offers 28 examples of Graingeresque delight. Some are very concise folk-songs and traditional songs, others better known examples of his art. Let me just suggest a few which I think especially illuminating or unusual. If you’ve not come across \u003ci\u003eThe Merry King\u003c\/i\u003e, try to do so, and you won’t regret it; it’s hauntingly beautiful. \u003ci\u003eA Jutish Melody\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded by Grainger in one of his very rarest 78s – a double-sided 1929 Columbia. He takes it a touch faster than Jones. \u003ci\u003eSpoon River\u003c\/i\u003e is played with vibrancy but Jones is ever alert as to treble colouration. There are also the simple and complex versions of \u003ci\u003eOne more day my John.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e The fourth disc is a curious collection but that only makes it the more valuable for completists. We have Stanford’s \u003ci\u003eFour Irish Dances\u003c\/i\u003e, the deeply sensitive Fauré songs – what a shame Grainger didn’t record them – and the opening movement transcription of the Schumann Piano Concerto, which, like the Rachmaninoff, is probably best known by close readers of Grainger’s work in this field – a virtuosic single-voiced domestication, as it were, of the concerto literature. Another such is the better remembered Grieg Concerto first movement, also in this disc. His homage to Delius comes via the \u003ci\u003eAir and Dance\u003c\/i\u003e – but there are plenty of things to occupy the eager ears in this disc. Uppermost amongst them we find \u003ci\u003eAngelus ad Virginem\u003c\/i\u003e, a lovely carol, and then some of Grainger’s early works. These include the Schumannesque Klavierstücke in E, and the other early pieces which are variously awkward and Brahmsian or, in the case of the one in B flat, incomplete. There’s also the one in D, which Grainger dedicated to his father. \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eBigelow March\u003c\/i\u003e, an insouciant piece, was actually written by Ella Grainger, Percy’s wife. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e The final disc has bigger works, ending with \u003ci\u003eThe Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e. It also includes those pieces written for four hands on one piano, four on two pianos, six on one piano and six on two pianos. \u003ci\u003eChildren's March: \"Over the Hills and Far Away\" \u003c\/i\u003eis a sonorous and ebullient example of Martin Jones and Richard McMahon playing on two pianos. But all these pieces are richly exciting and attractive. In the midst of all this don’t overlook the calm solo Grainger fashioned from William Byrd – \u003ci\u003eThe Carman’s Whistle \u003c\/i\u003eor indeed Gershwin’s \u003ci\u003eEmbraceable You\u003c\/i\u003e. The resilience of the performers and the clarity of the six-handed, two-piano, arrangement of \u003ci\u003eThe Warriors\u003c\/i\u003e elevates it to a must-hear experience. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e I hope this has given some indication of why this is so essential a box for admirers of the composer. I appreciate that Nimbus’s sound in these 1989-91 recordings is not to everyone’s tastes, but it will certainly do, and the booklet notes are classy. What a splendid undertaking this was. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e -- Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International","brand":"Nimbus","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44626677793002,"sku":"710357176722","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/204038.jpg?v=1778295033"},{"product_id":"uncommon-valor-presidents-own-united-states-marine-71534","title":"Uncommon Valor \/ \"President's Own\" United States Marine Band","description":"PRESIDENT'S OWN UNITED STATES MARINE BAND: Uncommon Valor","brand":"Altissimo","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44626194366698,"sku":"754422610223","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/1859694.jpg?v=1778321379"},{"product_id":"the-blessings-of-liberty-united-states-marine-81474","title":"The Blessings Of Liberty \/ United States Marine Band","description":"The U.S. Marine Band, \"The President's Own,\" has performed for every presidential inauguration since Thomas Jefferson.

All hail, then, to a disc that features the CSO brass players in all their refulgent splendor. Various arrangers are responsible for the versions performed here: Joseph Kreines for the Walton and Prokofiev, Eric Crees for the Bach, Timothy Higgins for the Grainger, and Bruce Roberts for the Revueltas. All but the Gabrieli are also credited with conductors, drawn from the ranks of the performers: trombonist Jay Friedman for the Walton, trumpeter Mark Ridenour for the Bach and Grainger, trombonist Michael Mulcahy for the Revueltas, and hornist Dale Clevenger for the Prokofiev. The members of the CSO brass section are also supplemented (in which selections is not specified; I hear them playing only in the Revueltas) by two more CSO members—clarinetist John Bruce Yeh and bassist Roger Cline—plus an additional three trumpeters, three trombonists, a tubist, and a percussionist as ringers. All of the arrangements are deft and colorful; the playing, needless to say, is exquisite. The recorded sound is suitably brilliant; the booklet provides a list of the participating instrumentalists, color head shots of the CSO members, and brief essays on the CSO brass section and the conductors. All fanciers of brass ensembles will want to snap this item up forthwith; others may find it an entertaining treat as well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold\"\u003eFANFARE: James A.
