Danburg plays enthusiastically, with drive. Pianist Boetcher plays music rather than notes. The Peabody Symphony does sound like a student ensemble, but a very good one, with a nice string tone. The most unstable performance comes from the Shepherd School of Music Ensemble for Furchte dich nicht , but, to be fair, they suffer from mostly balance problems entirely due to the specification of the trumpet. I don't know whether it's possible, or even nice, to ask a trumpet to play softly throughout.
Recording is acceptable.
All the performances are live, and the editing isn't really commercial quality. That makes little difference to enjoying the music, and I do recommend it highly to those interested in a young tonal composer with something to say.
