Description:

Packed with retro charm! This is the good old America!!The idea that performing a piece using the instruments and styles of its time brings out its true essence isnt limited to early music. This album features Fosters numerous melodieswhich could be called the worlds favorite love songssuch as The Country Race, The Dreamer, and My Husband Lies in the Cold Groundmelodies by Foster that could well be called the worlds favorite songsperformed by a brass band using 19th-century instruments. The arrangements are truly brilliant, making you feel as if youve taken a trip back to the world of the Good Old Days of America as seen in photographs and films. The natural sense of pitch unique to period instruments, along with the slightly leisurely tempos, evoke a deeply nostalgic, retro atmosphere.Naxos Japan
