Penlee (CD): The Music of Simon Dobson and Kenneth Hesketh

A fine recording from one of the most innovative brass bands featuring music at the cutting-edge of our brass band repertoire by two very talented British composers, Simon Dobson and Kenneth Hesketh. Music on the disc by Simon Dobson Clarion Alarum, The Drop: Remixed, Lyonesse, The Dreaded Groove and Hook and Penlee. Music on the disc by Kenneth Kesketh: A Festive Overture, Infernal Ride, Elegy and Whirlegigg.

There is a hidden bonus track on the CD, the beautfully glowing arrangement of Morten Lauridsen's **O Magnum Mysterium**.

"A disc not to be missed. ***** " (Christopher Thomas, Brass Band World Magazine)

Penlee has been voted into the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2011 at No.106. Not only is it the first time a brass work has been featured in the Hall of Fame, but it was also the highest new entry.
