Review by Thais Medeiros

Frederick Fennell's album "Our Director" is a masterful display of his expertise in conducting wind ensembles. The album features a selection of works from various composers such as Gustav Holst, Percy Grainger, and Ralph Vaughan Williams, all performed with precision and passion.

Fennell's attention to detail is evident throughout the album, with each note and phrase carefully crafted to create a cohesive and dynamic performance. The opening track, "First Suite in E-Flat" by Holst, sets the tone for the rest of the album with its rich harmonies and stirring melodies.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Grainger's "Lincolnshire Posy," a six-movement work that showcases Fennell's ability to bring out the unique character of each movement. From the playful "Horkstow Grange" to the haunting "Lord Melbourne," Fennell's interpretation of the piece is both engaging and moving.

Summary by Thais Medeiros

"Our Director" is a must-listen for fans of wind music and anyone who appreciates the skill and artistry of a great conductor. Fennell's legacy as one of the greatest conductors of wind ensembles is cemented with this outstanding album.
