Garden of Dreams

"Conductor Jerry Junkin brings just the right touch of levity and concentration from the performers. You'll find yourself tapping your toes or conducting your own imaginary musicians ... or maybe not so imaginary--once again, Reference Recordings' `Prof. Johnson' has worked his magic on this HDCD. The instruments are true to tone ... the transient attacks are sharp and clear, and the hall ambience is excellent." - THE AUDIO ADVENTURE

The Dallas Wind Symphony is America's premier professional wind band, and Jerry Junkin is the worthy successor of Frederick Fennell, the "godfather of wind bands". David Maslanka is the most important living composer for wind band. A Child's Garden of Dreams is his greatest hit, and In Memoriam is a world-premiere recording. Symphony No. 4 and A Child's Garden of Dreams receive their first professional recordings.
