Info for Crown Imperial
On Crown Imperial, in addition to the renowned Dallas Wind Symphony and its music director Jerry Junkin, we have the services of Mary Preston, resident organist of the mighty Fisk concert instrument in the Meyerson Symphony Center. No one knows better than she the capabilities of the Fisk, and Mary Preston can make it sing and shout.
America's premier professional, full-time wind band is conducted by Jerry Junkin, the world's best-known band specialist. The symphonic Fisk pipe organ in the Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas, is played by its resident virtuoso, Mary Preston.
'The DWS has made many recordings over the years for Reference, both under the baton of Junkin as well as Frederick Fennell. This may be one of the most spectacular due to its brilliant combination of brass, percussion, and one of the largest concert pipe organs. The venue is the already-acclaimed Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas with its Fisk Concert Organ. Audiophiles will have to have this one.' (John Sunier, Audiophile Audition)
'The finest wind ensemble collection I've heard in years... The demonstration-class sound... has to be heard to be believed... A no-brainer on my Want List.' (Fanfare)
