Panache - Aaron VanderWeele with Bill Way

Philip Biggs, The Brass Herald magazine says:
"I have heard many a North American commentator make the point that goes something like this -
there are many fine euphonium players around the world, but then there are the British euphonium players who are generally in a different league, then players are quoted such as the famous Childs family, Steven Mead and the generation before them, notably Messrs, Groom, Baglin and Clough. Well, there is one non British euphonium soloist who most certainly belongs in that elite club and that is the virtuoso whose solo album is entitled Panache - Aaron VanderWeele. Whether you are a brass or euphonium aficionado, or general music lover - this CD is for you."

Dr. Ronald Holz says:
"When an instrumentalist plays with 'panache,' the label fits if the performance exhibits a certain marked sense of style, a grand swagger, even a touch of the theatrical. That is certainly the case throughout Aaron VanderWeele's wide-ranging program. The title track by Robin Dewhurst encapsulates that so well, providing a showcase for the euphonium's main strengths--the ability to sing lyrically and to handle technically demanding gestures, all this in a stylistically eclectic mix. I trust and hope that an entire new generation of musicians will be encouraged by this fine example of both excellent playing and captivating literature."
