Digital Booklet

"The sound is spectacular. Brasses are richly characterized and when organ is added for low end foundation, the sense of a large space being acoustically energized is uncanny."
- The Absolute Sound
"If you are a lover of Christmas music: carols, popular songs and all manner of medleys and clever arrangements of such, and you miss this extraordinary recording, your holiday listening stands to be just a bit more dull, less festive and more ordinary than it could have been."
- ClassicsToday.com
The Dallas Wind Symphony and conductor Jerry Junkin present Horns for the Holidays, showcasing a 12-track lineup including original arrangements of festive favourites with many first recordings. This audiophile spectacular also features the huge Fisk pipe organ at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, faithfully captured here. A treat for wind band enthusiasts, audiophiles and anyone who loves great holiday music.
