CD ReviewsA Fine Recording and a First for Handbells Jason Tiller | Fremont, CA USA | 10/19/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Packaged amongst the un-preposessing cover and j-card of this Estonian CD is a world record: the first recording ever of a work for handbells and orchestra. Peter Vahi's "Handbell Symphony" is a masterful blending of the brilliant yet relativly soft qualities of handbells with the rich colors available in the modern orchestra. This extremely successful collaboration yields a very interesting and listenable piece.The three movements of "Handbell Symphony" manage to use the bells very idiomatically and yet also create a *new* idiom by combining them with orchestra. It definitely is an amazing first.Unfortunately, the rest of the works on the CD are only so-so, often played at breakneck speed to little artistic success. Standouts, however, are Buckwalter's "Soliloquy for Bells" and the Schubert "Ave Maria;" both show off the ethereal and haunting bell timbre well."
