The Royal Norwegian Navy Band's own superb soloists perform a most enjoyable programme of rarely heard works - Rimsky-Korsakov's Concertos for Clarinet and for Trombone plus his Variations on a Theme of Glinka for Oboe and Military Band; we also present Glière's rarely heard Concerto for Trumpet (originally his Concerto for Coloratura Soprano and Orchestra), Lebedev's Concerto no. 1 for Bass Trombone and Arutiunian's Tuba Concerto. Whereas the Rimsky-Korsakov works were all originally scored for military band, the latter three works are all re-scored for different sizes of wind orchestra. This is a tuneful, exciting and beautifully played album, conducted by Leif Arne Tangen Pedersen, the outstanding Principal Clarinet of the Oslo Philharmonic.
