    Skip this album in favour of this band's previous releases, namely those featuring the Whitacre titles. In comparison, this one was rather disappointing, especially the (trite/possibly misunderstood?) latin works. cnductr: not a musician anymore, retired and now just an avid aficionado of a few college bands, and reviewer for a local paper though I was at CCCM under Corporon back in the day. I have nearly all this group's previous releases, and most of them have been better.
  • Great Album!

    'Great job guys! Excellent playing with difficult repertoire/styles and with exceptional control & artistry. Love the Witch and Danzon tracks. I saw a review comment about not enough low end on this recording: probably a tuba player - no worries; 'just upgrade your headphones tuba guy. Keep up the great work UNLV!
  • Major issues

    Very much in agreement with the above. Also, the levels and balance of the entire ensemble was complete wrong. It was lacking a low end completely. Not sure if it was the band's fault or an editing faux pas, but it was not enjoyable.
