Notes & Reviews	Back to Top

REVIEWS: Fanfare (5-6/98, p.268) - "...The performances range in quality and sound from amusing to quite good, with most on the latter end. The composers are all from this century. All are well known in Canada. Almost all are misrepresented in the sense that their work is abundant and can't be treated in one track of a few minutes..." Includes work(s) by Calixa Lavallée, Claude Champagne, Healey Willan, various composers.
