Review of the CD by Philip Mather, Editor of the UK Branch Newsletter, International Military Music Society

"Having played in military bands for forty years I seem to have played everything from the traditional repertoire to death. To tempt me to buy a CD of the 'sitting down' music these days, the choice offered must include something I really like -this CD has a number of such items including Tantalasqualen Overture (when was the last time we had a recording of this attractive piece?), John Martindale's Early One Morning, From the Highlands and W J Dawson's ITMA British Grenadiers. This CD appears to take the format of music suitable to accompany a dinner with regimental marches to conclude. All the music is played with close attention to detail especially from the inner parts; also to dynamics, phrasing and general musicality. Some solo parts and 'leads in' could do with more prominence as it sounds like the microphone is too far away from the musician or section concerned at times -but that's an engineering quibble not a musical one. It's good to hear a prominent bass drum played all the way through the marches. Some sleeve notes on the music and the soloists would have added to my enjoyment of the music. Go and buy this CD - it's a fine example of a TA band at its best."
