Works by: Bizet, Mozart, Nielsen, Rossini and Wagner
The superlatives which have been applied to the Omnibus Wind Ensemble have been piled one on top of the other. Words such as competent, professional and masterly overflow. We are invited to beautiful, entrancing and almost seductive tones with perfectly balanced sound.
The twelve musicians of the Omnibus Wind
Ensemble invite us to music which is both zestful and refreshing.
Opera Pearls contains exuberant and delighful overtures with beautiful and seductive arias.
Here we find both deep seriousness and spiritual humour.
