I agree, this recording sets new standards for the performance of 
classic Army masterpieces.

Even more exciting, in my view, is the rendition of Dean Goffin's 
symphonic variations, 'My Strength, My Tower'. This is a MUST hear.

If there is one (minor) criticism I might make, it is that on most
of the selections on the CD, the cornet section is a little too
heavy -- to the detriment of the other sections. (Although, I must
congratulate the cornets on their superb rendition of the opening
fanfare in 'The Call of the Righteous' - BRAVO!)

Nevertheless, Salvationist band members ought to seriously consider 
the purchase of this excellent recording. 'Essays for Brass' gets a 
9.5 out of 10 from me.
