This all Swedish recording by the Omnibus Wind Ensemble includes premiere performances of two specially written compositions, one by jazz musician Eje Thelin and the other by Karl-Erik Welin. Also included are works by Tor Aulin, Joseph Martin Kraus, Johan Joachim Agrell, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger and Hugo Alfén. A veritable Odyssey of Swedish Music! "The listener is treated to a succesion and variety of musical jewels, all of inestimable brilliance and freshness. The twelve players, oustandingly close-knit and virtuosos of their instruments, perform and delight with an infectious delight and with splendid precision. In short: an outstandingly interesting, variable and technically perfect CD for which there is a place in every serious listener's record library!" (Sala Allehanda)
