Am I alone on this? I love classical music, especially big symphonic works, but the violin is particularly grating to my tastes.Like many here I'm sure, I was in band back in high school and love sound of a great wind ensemble. I've just recently started to try and obtain some Wind Ensemble music. I've got a couple of Tokyo Kosei CD's and a few by the Eastman Wind Ensemble. I also bought a chamber music CD by the Netherlands Wind Ensemble that is very nice.
I've recently ordered a few CD's of the North Texas University WE on the Klavier label, but have not yet received them.
Are there any wind ensemble recordings available that folks consider as "must haves" for lovers of wind ensembles? Of course great sonics on the recording is a must. Thankfully from what I've experienced so far, most labels seem to take care to get these recordings right.
Thanks,
Scott
