I bought this arragment for my local concert band. We have been searching for a long time for a medium difficult version of the famous songs and music from Gerwshin's opera. That one, I found ideal. Our audience liked it very much (we already had the first performance) as well as my musicians did. In short: a good choice and my full recommendation as a conductor.
