Emil Nikolaus V. Reznicek was born on May 4,1860. Though he was originally destined for ajudicial career, his nature (that of a true musician)soon pointed him in the direction of music. As anorchestral conductor and a highly regarded musicteacher he made his mark in a number of cities,including Mannheim and Berlin. As a composer hesprang to fame with his opera Donna Diana(1894), a lasting success which placed him in theforefront of German composers. The overture toDonna Diana is unique in its freshness and sunnycheerfulness. Wil van der Beek, who has alreadywritten many arrangements of classical pieces forwind band, has maintained the spirit of theoriginal composition.

Die Ouvertüre zur Oper Donna Diana von Emil Nikolaus von Reznicek ist einzigartig in ihrer Frische und sonnigen Fröhlichkeit. Wil van der Beek, aus dessen Feder bereits zahlreiche Transkriptionen klassischer Werke für Blasorchester stammen, erhielt in dieser gelungenen Bearbeitung den Geist der Originalkomposition. Ein Gewinn für jedes Konzertprogramm!
