The Eastman Wind Ensemble
Donald Hunsberger, conductor
It has now been almost nine years since I somehow fell into the pleasant job of being Fanfare’s “Sousa man.” What started it all off was the record “Sousa Spectacular” (now on compact disc), by Donald Hunsberger and the Eastman Wind Ensemble, that I reviewed in Fanfare. Since then a good many Sousa LPs and CDs have been dropped on my porch and discussed in these pages. Hunsberger’s still remains the best-for the finish and sensitivity of the playing, the beautifully blended reed-centered sound, the buoyant rhythmic continuity provided by the restrained but always evident percussion section.
