This Excellent Compilation CD By The International Staff Band Of The Salvation Army Is A Very Special CD Indeed, As It Features Some Of The Historic Studio Recordings That Were Recorded For EMI Between 1960 And 1975 By The International Staff Band When Colonel Bernard Adams Was Bandmaster. Bernard Adams First Took Over The Baton As Bandmaster Of The International Staff Band In 1947, And Was, Until Recently, The Longest Serving Bandmaster Of The International Staff Band, Serving For A Distinguished 28 Years In The Role Before Lieut-Colonel Ray Bowes Took Over The Baton As Bandmaster Of The International Staff Band In 1975 When Bernard Adams Retired.

In 1975 Colonel Adams Was Recognised For His Outstanding Years Of Service In The Role Of Bandmaster Of The International Staff Band When He Received The Salvation Army’s Highest Honour, The Order Of The Founder (O.F) From General Clarence Wiseman Upon His Retirement In 1975.

Over The Years, The International Staff Band Under the Direction Of Colonel Bernard Adams Recorded A Host Of Superb LP Recordings During The 28 Years He Was Bandmaster, And It Would Be Hard To Pick Out Only One Stand Out Recording. This New Compilation CD That Has Been Put Together By Douglas Field, Has Taken What Many Would Consider Some Of The Best Of The Historic Recordings The International Staff Band Has Made Over the Time Bernard Adams Was Bandmaster, And Produced An Truly Excellent CD Of Music For Not Only Salvation Army And Brass Band Music Connoisseurs, But Also For The General Listener, Who Will Certainly Enjoy The Programme Of Music That Has Been Selected For This Compilation CD Recording.

There Are A Lot Of Wonderful Pieces On This CD From The Pens Of Some Of The Salvation Army’s Premier Composers Such As Ray Steadman-Allen, Leslie Condon, Eric Ball, Terry Camsey, Bruce Broughton, Michael Kenyon, Donald Osgood And Dean Goffin With Everyone Having Their Favourites, However Special Highlights For Me On This Particular CD Are, The Cornet Solo ’Life’s Pageant Which Is Superbly Played By The Composer And Soloist Terry Camsey As Well As The Two Major Works By Eric Ball ’The Triumph Of Peace’ And The Wonderful Suite ’Songs Of The Morning’


I Hope You Will Enjoy Listening To This Superb CD ’THE BERNARD ADAMS COLLECTION - Historic Abbey Road Recordings From 1960 - 1975’ Performed By The International Staff Band Of The Salvation Army Conducted By Colonel Bernard Adams
