Congratulations to Alliance Artist Richard Marshall of Black Dyke on winning the prestigious Brass Band World Award for Solo CD of the Year 2020!
The new Sonatina CD showcases Richard in some well-known and popular modern cornet concertos by Elgar Howarth, Martin Ellerby and Edward Gregson and includes a brand new interpretation of the classic Denis Wright work that gives the CD its title. Speaking about it in the latest BBW edition Richard said that it meant “so much” and was “a great way to end 2020”.The BBW panel picked the World of Brass Doyen recording release from an excellent shortlist from some extremely renowned players: Gary Curtin (‘Eire Time’), Glenn Van Looy (‘Stepping Out’), Thomas Reudi (‘Monologue’), Jamie Hood (‘Crossroad’) and Tim Maeseneer (‘The Birth of Time Echoes’).
