North Texas Wind Symphony Eugene Corporon, conductor Featuring the Barcelona Clarinet Players Innovation, fusion, interdisciplinary nature, and pedagogy are some of the concepts that best describe the creative line of the Barcelona Clarinet Players (BCP). The group, formed in 2010, has performed at the main music halls in Spain such as Palau de la Música de Valencia, Auditori de Barcelona, and in such countries as Austria, Belgium, France, Mexico, and the United States. This collaboration with Eugene Corporon and the North Texas Wind Symphony, featuring repertoire from primarily Spanish composers, is remarkable and refreshing! Contents: 1.

Audio Magazine: The performances are expert, and the sound—which ranges from single wind instrument solos to a full band replete with thundering timpani and bass drum that can be felt through a subwoofer—is as good as it gets. There’s a remarkable combination of presence and stage depth. Fanfare Magazine: The group is in a class all its own...Hats off to them...If you don’t respond to the music or to the performances (I’m sorry for you, if that’s the case), surely the audiophile-worthy engineering will get you. Corporon and his North Texas Wind Symphony are almost in a league of their own. —American Record Guide May/June 2012.

The creation of the WindWorks label represents an expanded relationship between the North Texas Wind Symphony and GIA Publications. GIA’s generous support and ongoing dedication to wind music has made it possible for the ensemble to continue producing recordings of the highest quality that are a testament to the perseverance and work ethic of everyone involved. While the first 34 releases in the series, initiated in 1989, remain with the Klavier label, this broadened alliance with GIA affords the opportunity to consolidate all of the current projects under one publishing roof. The diverse set of offerings consists of WindWorks (which includes the CD and DVD series), the Composer’s Collection, and the Teaching Music through Performance in Band resource recordings. Partnering in this way creates exciting possibilities that allow the imaginative output to stay focused on the ongoing mission: to provide first-class recordings that accentuate the comprehensiveness, depth, and value of the wind symphony medium and its music.
