Fennell does work wonders with a band and/or wind ensemble. Still - one
should go back and listen to the Hindemith Symphony he first recorded with
the Eastman Wind Ensemble under the Mercury Label - the solo clarinetist
really messes up the solos! It makes you wonder if they missed that on the
editing.......

Best wishes,
