Discography Compiled & Edited by Richard Gilbert

Timothy Reynish, conductor: “A Panorama of 20th Century Music” is being developed at this moment by Richard Gilbert, a global view, with wonderfully perceptive articles for the wind band by the late Frederick Fennell and for the brass by James Gourlay. These essays alone will be an invaluable source of information, especially on the history of the two movements… The main body of the material is a set of six compendious discographies:

Wind Ensembles, Concert Bands & Harmonies

Wind Band Collections - Brass Bands - Brass Band Collections -
Batteries & Fanfares (Selective Entries) & Circus Bands (Selective Entries)
Richard Gilbert has added two major 20th Century art forms: Musical Theater & The Silver Screen together with a truly awesome collection of photographs of composers, conductors, players and bands. The entries show the ensemble first, next the conductor followed up by album title, year of release or when recorded (r.) and finally composers and their compositions (+ year of composition), and what might have been pages of bare statistic is enlivened by reproductions of many of the disc covers”

Bill Katz, Band Educator: “Your book will be a welcome addition for school music educators, professional musicians, conductors, and private music teachers around the world who are always searching for traditional and contemporary wind and percussion repertoire. Your book makes such a wealth of information available in one place that one had to comb libraries, music stores, the internet, and pick colleagues’ minds for in the past. I applaud your dedication, diligence and considerable effort required to produce such a mammoth result. I am still going through it, and suspect I always will.”

Keith Brion, Band Director: “Congratulations on your excellent new book, ‘BAND! – Panorama of 20th Century Classical Music.’ It will be an invaluable reference to the rich and growing role of recorded repertoire for wind bands and brass bands throughout the world”
