Sousa's marches.......2007-06-28

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

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.

Sousa Marches, MC Band.......2006-08-04

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

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!

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.

Sousa.......2007-07-25

I love Sousa marches but this recording while comprehensive and cheep lacks much to be desired in the musical rendension. It lacks the spark and musicality of Sousa.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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

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.

Nice Overview of Sousa's Alternative Works, Weak Marches.......2004-12-30

This is an enjoyable collection for Sousa fans who would like to hear a sampling of his works apart from the marches he is best known for. I personally found the "Tally Ho!" Overture, "Last Days of Pompeii," and the "El Capitan" Waltz the most beautiful pieces in this compilation.

Pleasing as these pieces are, none compare to John Philip Sousa's specialty. His marches have a charismatic aura all their own, and would overshadow his finest symphony with ease. There are few things in this world as vivacious and optimistic as a Sousa March.

As for the Marches on this compilation, they are not so hot. All are excellent Sousa compositions, but with the exception of "Wolverine," The USAF Heritage of America Band delivers weak renditions of Sousa's work. Particularly hard on the ears is the take on "Jack Tar," with the timid "Sailor's Waltz" portion followed with a whistle that sounds more like a banshee. If you want quality Sousa Marches, look elsewhere!

A lost classic!.......2005-06-19

This CD came out in 1993, but I was unemployed and too broke to buy it then. I finally got a copy a few years ago, and it was worth it. This was actually Sebastian's first studio album since "Welcome Back" in 1976, but he played a couple of these songs live when I saw him in 1990. The title song "Tar Beach" is classic pop/rock, and would've been a hit if he had released it back in the 70's. An artist like John Sebastian had no chance at pop success in the 90's, but these songs are just as good as his older stuff. There have been reports of damage to his voice in recent years, but I don't hear that on this CD. The music is his usual mixture of pop, rock, blues, country and folk. "Mornin' Blues" could almost be an old country blues tune; "Smokey Don't Go" is a tribute to Smokey Robinson and the Miracles; "Someone's Standin' in Your Door" features guest vocals by Levon Helm; "Bless "Em All" is a "message" song that seems even more relevant in this post-911 world. There's plenty of John's great harmonica playing throughout this album, and also his unique guitar style, sort of a combination of rhythm and lead.

Still has here the magic.......2003-03-08

Excellent music. Why this guy hasn't released more music over the years is beyond me. Sebastian basically retired from music after reaching number one with the song "Welcome Back" (a.k.a. the Welcome Back Kotter TV theme) which was featured on, in my opinion, one of his best solo LPs (and when will this be released on CD?). That was in 1975! I believe this 1992 effort is his first project since then, and features, as well, some of his best solo work. "Walking with Someone New" is one of his best love songs. "Tar Beach" is contagious, "Night Owl Blues" is an effective hats-off to his past, "Mornin' Blues" anticipates the J Band and recalls his Spoonful roots. My favorite though is "Freezin' from the Inside Out" which is downright gritty. Every song on this set is a winner, with no filler. Sebastian here once again lets loose the magic that causes people, as myself, to feel good. If you can find this CD anywhere, I suggest that you buy it and crank it a listen.
