Les Synthetistes, a collective formed in Brussels in September 1925, sought to distinguish themselves from late-Romantic style by connecting with contemporary music, and the group created a unique canon of original, modern music for wind band. A sample of these unjustly forgotten works are heard here in their world premiere recordings, performed by the Royal Band of the Belgian Air Force, appearing in its Naxos debut. Marcel Poot's Seven Symphonies can be heard on 8.574292-93.

"… The disc is for anyone who wants to hear worthwhile though generally much neglected music by some distinguished Belgian composers. It clearly deserves to be heard, especially when played with commitment and enjoyment. I hope that this well filled, well played and well recorded release will be followed by some more."
