About
Transcriptions of orchestral masterworks form the core of the wind band repertoire. This disc features the gifted musicians of The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own,” performing some of the greatest orchestral works of the early 20th century. The band first plays three of Elgar’s famous Pomp and Circumstance marches. Stravinsky’s timeless Firebird suite showcases the virtuosity of the performers and the genius of Stravinsky himself. The album concludes with Respighi’s The Pines of Rome.
