5 out of 5 stars Sousa's marches.......2007-06-28

Excellent CD! I'm happy with the speed in which it arrived at our home.

4 out of 5 stars OK, But Not As Good As the Original.......2006-08-12

It's OK, but doesn't have the quality of Sousa's original songs which were also played by a United States Marine Band.

5 out of 5 stars Sousa Marches, MC Band.......2006-08-04

I was totally happy with the CD. It was everything I expected it to be. Thanks Much

5 out of 5 stars This is so great!.......2005-03-27

This music speaks to my inner being, my father was a Marine with the ETC, and it was not an easy time. Music like this helped him think about how the best things in life are two doors down on the left, just a shade away from peace. I love this music, track 13 speaks to me so much that I am not sure if I have the time to listen as much as I want to! Such great music!

5 out of 5 stars A Great Sousa Collection.......2004-12-15

These recordings seem to date from the 1960s and reflect a style of play that is impossible to find today. Some people might consider the sound to be too bright, the entrances too aggressive. But I think this is more authentic for Sousa than what one generally hears today. Sousa himself is known to have preferred "enthusiastic" entrances from his players, to have favored an "orchestral" sonority for his band and to have played his marches in strict tempo with no ritards or tempo changes. That is what you have on this disc, which features the Marine Band under Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, who also conducts on Volume 3 of Altissimo's Sousa Original series.

5 out of 5 stars Sousa By the Royal Marines.......2007-03-31

This is a great CD re-issue of the Band of the Royal Marines School of Music under Graham Hoskins. This band did a three LP series on Sousa marches some years ago that was better than most on this very well covered topic. Sousa march recordings will always come and go, but some like this stand out more than others. For one, there is nothing like the panache of a Royal Marines band. Their sound is a time honored development that gets passed from one generation to the next. Even as the number of RM bands continues to change and downsize, there are now about four bands left in the service, their sound quality continues to be superb.

When these recordings were made RM bands were still at their height in the British service and their quality was amazing. Most bands numbered over 60 in this period, and that is why many Americans may be surprsed at the volume of music produced here. This is not one of your small, though excellent regimental bands! Americans tend to think that British military band instrumentation is on the thin side. Not so here! Of course Sousa always sounds best with either the Allentown band or the US Marine band.

This CD is evidence of how popular Sousa has always been in the UK, and with RM bands in particular. The selection here on two CDs covers most of the standard Sousa fair, with a few different selections here and there. Unfortunatley there are none of Sousa's fine transcriptions for classical music, or selections from his operettas. This music is always wonderful to have in combination with the marches as it shows how much variety he was capable of in his compositions. For that kind of concert the reader is referred to the very fine collection of Sousa music being done under the Naxos label by the Band of the Royal Artillery.

Here you will find a solid collection of Sousa's great marches. Roughly a third of those 136 compositions are contained here. The Royal Marines give a sharpe and clear sound to these works which should certainly inspire. You will also get a very nice idea how RM bands sounded back in the 1980s. Graham Hoskins was a fine director of music, typical of the inhouse genius of the Royal Marines Band Service at that time. He took this band on a USA tour in 1985 with the Arygll & Sutherland Highlanders. Devotees of Sousa should enjoy these spirited versions of the march king's music as performed across the pond.

5 out of 5 stars Still Among the Best.......2006-06-01

I bought two audio casettes with these marches back in the 1980's and wore them out. These performances are hard to beat for virtuosity, enthusiasm, and sparkle. The sound quality is outstanding. And there are some marches that are rarely, if at all, available.

5 out of 5 stars How Sousa Should Sound.......2006-03-07

Great value 2 cd disc set cut in the early 1980's & remastered the sound of the Royal Marines Band is nothing short of terrific. Judging by the sound would not be surprised for this to be a combined double RM band. These 1st chair players give Sousa's great marches that extra kick that takes the "March Kings" music to that higher level. By the center quick march!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Sousa On Parade.......2007-05-31

This standard collection of Sousa's marches is nicely played throughout by the US Marine Band. All the well known marches by Sousa are here. Little is new here in that regard. The CD has in its title Dances and other Music. Only "Le Reine De Le Mer" is in this category and the piece is more an overture than a dance. The "Gallent 7th March" is not normally in the top 10 constantly played Sousa marches, but it is worthy of note. Sousa composed it for the fashionable 7th Regiment New York National Guard. This unit had a good band which was well known in Sousa's day and often combined performances with the Sousa band in New York City.

Sousa was director of music for the US Marine band for 10 years, 1882-92. He left to form his own band because he knew he could make a lot more money on his own. Suffice to say that Sousa greatly transformed this band from a 2nd rate ensemble to one of the best in the USA. The US Marine Band is also the oldest musical organization in the country, dating back to 1802 when Washington DC was still a wooded Virginia back water built over sickly swamps. Today this band probably gives one of the best versions of Sousa's music. Still, the listener should consider other collections by the Royal Artillery Band available on Amazon which provides a much fuller range of Sousa's music with authentic programing.

Again, I have to say that I wish the CD had been longer. I always enjoyed playing Sousa's music and The Marine Band sounds like they do also. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Sousa Was THE March King.......2004-08-14

Being a big Sousa fan, I bought all four CDs in this series performed by the U.S. Marine Band. All in all this is a very comprehensive collection from an American icon (or should I say two American icons?). The overall quality of the recording as well as of the musicians is superb. No wonder the U.S. Marine Band is "The President's Own". Stirring stuff, indeed! I was amazed at the number of marches that were included that I had never heard before. Especially interesting and historically significant is the inclusion of selections recorded in the 1890s by John Phillip Sousa and his concert band. This series is well worth the price for band nerds like me.

    5 out of 5 stars Symphonic Sousa!.......2007-05-12

    This recording is unique. I've heard lots of march recordings, and the Dallas Wind Symphony takes a different approach. This is real music. Sousa was a great composer and this recording gets him out of the oom-pah crash-crash rut. There's subtlety here, variations, detail, and the recording itself shows it all with great dynamic range. It's as if Beethoven met Sousa in Dallas.

    4 out of 5 stars Superb Sousa - Strictly Speaking.......2007-02-16

    Absolutely love this CD! A great collection of my favorite marches and it is well done by this orchestra. My only issue with it is that I was expecting better sound dynamics. The whole CD seems quiet to me. When I used to play marches in the school band I was used to the thunderous, booming crescendos! Eh, I just turn it up louder! Also, my 8-month old son loves this CD. He perks right up and claps when I put it on.

    5 out of 5 stars More Than Spectacular!!.......2001-07-24

    When I purchased this CD, I did not know what to expect (this is the first CD I purchased with only marches on it). But, I knew if it was from Reference Recordings, the sound would be spectacular! Spectacular marches from a spectacular bandmaster from a spectacular recording label equals something much more than spectacular, to say nothing of the spectacular performances of the Dallas Wind Symphony! To describe this HDCD as a toe-tapper is setting the bar far too low. Listening to just a few of these marches can change a gloomy day to sunny - and I mean it! These marches are impeccably played with such verve and gusto that you are transported right to Main Street USA. And all this marching emotion is captured as faithfully as possible by the "Professor" Keith O. Johnson of Reference Recordings.

    If this CD does not get your heart pumping, better call 911!

    A GREAT CD not to be missed!

    5 out of 5 stars Something very precious.......2004-11-16

    John Philip Sousa was a great musician and a great American. These recorded relics are very fascinating, and sometimes most vivid, reminders of his greatness

    5 out of 5 stars Great historical resource.......2000-08-24

    This set consists of every recording released under the name of "the Sousa Band", from 1897-1930. Since some of these recordings are over 100 years old, they tend to be somewhat scratchy and occasionally faint. If you're a casual fan or you're buying your first Sousa record, your money can be better spent elsewhere.

    However, these recordings are an invaluable resourse for students, performers, and teachers. Even with the limitations of early recording devices, there is no better demonstration of the style and nuance of the "March King" than these performances under his own baton. Also, the chance to actually hear Sousa's voice as he introduces the great "Stars and Stripes Forever" is to step into the past.

    4 out of 5 stars 100-Men Strong.......2000-08-24

    Back in the 60s and 70s, there were two main sources for recorded Band Music - Frederick Fennell with the Eastman Wind Ensemble on Mercury and Dr. William D. Revelli with the University of Michigan Band on Vangard. Although both conductors are giants of the Industry, they differed greatly in their approaches - Fennell worked with small groups (usually under 50 personnel) while Revelli used a LARGE group - advertised as 100 strong.

    This recording incorporates all of the selections on the original LP "Hail Sousa" (now on CD - also available through Amazon) with the addition of several non-Sousa selections as shown on the song selection list. Which recording to buy is a personal preference - whether you want to pay a couple of dollars more for 4 additional selections. All the additions are classic marches except for Jerry Bilik's "American Civil War Fantasy". This is out-of-place in a march collection, but it is a wonderful recording nonetheless. It is taken from another old UM recording, "The University of Michigan Band On Tour".

    The performances are uniformly excellent. I was always amazed at the ensemble playing of the woodwind section. Although not as "clean" as the playing of a small group like the Eastman Wind Ensemble, the overall sound of this big band, especially at high volume levels, is simply amazing. The Brass are big and boomy, and the percussion drive things along while still playing tastefully.

    I have not given this recording 5 stars because some of the newer recordings by Fennell on import from Japan with the Tokyo Wind Orchestra have much better digital sound, and the old Fennell recordings on Mercury are considered THE classic recordings. However, this CD has very good analog sound, especially considering its age.

    4 out of 5 stars The Classic.......2000-08-09

    I have heard this version of Sousa as a boy at boy scout camporees, high school football games, etc. during the 70s. Its as energized and vibrant as you would expect a major college band to be. You'll not disapointed.
