Customer Reviews:

Wow.......2004-12-06

Wow, this is great. The vocal writing is very unique. The orchestra sounds great. The title work is wonderful. Great mix of style. The piano concerto reminds me of everything from Ellington to Corigliano. Interesting to hear a classical pianist playing with a traditional big band. Weigel gets a great sound!!

a very powerful addition to anyone's classical library. These pieces are never tiring. "Power Press" will get you moving with its rhymthical percussion. Highly recommended.
