A Fine Recording and a First for Handbells.......2000-10-20

The three movements of "Handbell Symphony" manage to use the bells very idiomatically and yet also create a *new* idiom by combining them with orchestra. It definitely is an amazing first.

Unfortunately, the rest of the works on the CD are only so-so, often played at breakneck speed to little artistic success. Standouts, however, are Buckwalter's "Soliloquy for Bells" and the Schubert "Ave Maria;" both show off the ethereal and haunting bell timbre well.
