Title: Predictable and Marginal
Review: This recording represents another release of Maslanka's music by the University of Arizona Wind Ensemble, and it comes up rather short in places. The ensemble lacks fine precision at times, and the intonation is very suspect. Joe Lulloff's playing in the saxophone concerto is riddled with pitch problems (most notably in the 3rd Mvt) and it is a wonder why this was ever released. Maslanka appears to regularly quote himself and essentially re-compose much of his output from previous material, leaving the saxophone concerto, in particular, to sound predictable and tired. Further, it bears such resemblance to other works that one loses what makes it unique. A valiant effort with some sporadic good playing, but the music is average and the soloists are less than spectacular.
