 The Bradley Years represent the definitive collection of steelband music
arrangements and performances for a large steel orchestra. This collection
showcases seven classic arrangements from the master arranger Clive Bradley.
Bradley is considered to be the best steelband music arranger ever by many,
including his peers. In addition,
the
arrangements are performed by one of the finest steelbands in the world, New
York's Pantonic Steel Orchestra. Clive Bradley had a very special relationship
with Pantonic. This orchestra clinched the title of
panorama champions five times in seven years - performing Bradley's
musical works. The performances were captured by Basement
Recordings days
prior, and in one instance, mere moments before they took the stage for the prestigious annual steelband music panorama
competition. The recordings capture, reproduce and present an unrivalled
clarity with sonic realism, of a large steel orchestra fielding between
one hundred and one hundred twenty musicians - unlike any other
steelband music recordings in its class. |
