Take the classic one: Fennell and the Eastman Wind Ensemble on Mercury
289 482 960-2.  It's coupled with Holst's Suite 1, Vaughan Williams's
Folk Song Suite and Toccata Marziale, Mennin's Canzona, Persichetti's
Psalm, and Reed's La Fiesta Mexicana.  It's also mono. If you really,
really gotta have stereo, try Fennell and the Symphonic Winds on Telarc
CD-80038.  Also on the program are Suite 1 and arrangements of Bach's
Fantasia in G and Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks.
