Review by Dragan Trifunović

The International Staff Band of the Salvation Army has released their latest album, Partita, and it is a stunning collection of brass band music. The album features a variety of pieces, from traditional hymns to contemporary compositions, all expertly performed by the band.

The album opens with the title track, "Partita," a six-movement suite composed by Kenneth Downie. The band's precision and musicality are on full display in this piece, with each movement showcasing a different section of the band.

Other standout tracks include "A Celtic Blessing," a hauntingly beautiful arrangement of a traditional Irish melody, and "The Prayer," a powerful rendition of the popular song made famous by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli.

Throughout the album, the International Staff Band demonstrates their exceptional musicianship and ability to convey emotion through their playing. The arrangements are well-crafted and showcase the unique sound of a brass band.
