Description:
Emil Nikolaus V. Reznicek was born on May 4, 1860. Though he was originally destined for a judicial career, his nature (that of a true musician) soon pointed him in the direction of music. As an orchestral conductor and a highly regarded music teacher he made his mark in a number of cities, including Mannheim and Berlin. As a composer he sprang to fame with his opera Donna Diana (1894), a lasting success which placed him in the forefront of German composers. The overture to Donna Diana is unique in its freshness and sunny cheerfulness. Wil van der Beek, who has already written many arrangements of classical pieces for wind band, has maintained the spirit of the original composition.
