Not only the music, but the soul of the boundless expanse of Venezuela has captured the Saxon Wind Philharmonic in its sixth GENUIN CD: completely different realms than that which the superb wind orchestra recently traveled to in his highly acclaimed "Saxony" CD. Principal conductor Thomas Clamor contrasts the music of this vastly diverse country with other Latin American sounds – and then, if some of the best young soloists of the Venezuelan "El Sistema" play along, one is tempted to immediately buy a plane ticket to a place where palm trees grow, the balmy evening air wafts over us, and the gentle sounds of maracas, guitar and harp resonate through our body...
American Record Guide
"... a colorful, strumming, street-musicians sound that contrasts beautifully with the rich sonorities of this very fine concert band."
