On Music for Two, banjo wizard Béla Fleck and stand-up bass maestro Edgar Meyer effortlessly sail through a challenging program that includes compositions by Bach, a sonata by Henry Eccles, a Miles Davis tune, and a number of self-composed finger twisters. The amazing thing about this varied selection is not its eclecticism--which is only to be expected with these two--but that it all blends together so seamlessly. Fleck's jazz-tinged compositions (like "The Lake Effect") and Meyer's bluegrass-inspired tunes (like "Wishful Thinking") sit so comfortably next to Bach's baroque jewels and Davis's cool jazz that it makes you question the entire of concept of musical classification. (In fact, the Bach preludes, inventions, and partitas translate so well to the banjo/bass arrangements, you have to wonder if old JSB might not have had a bit of bluegrass in his soul.) Music for Two was recorded live at a series of 2001 concerts, where Fleck and Meyer proved conclusively that the banjo and the bass were capable of remarkable subtlety and not just twang and boom. --Michael John Simmons

A Must Have.......2007-04-25

These two really sound good together. If you're not so impressed with the music when you first hear it (I don't know if that's possible), check out the DVD that comes with it. You will gain such an appreciation for the music that's being played. Watch out for the guy making the banjo jokes. This CD is really an incredible work, I can't say it enough. Very relaxing music.

Broad Spectrum Virtuosity.......2007-04-23

This album runs the gamut of styles and genre. It is hard to get bored when a musical turn is but a few notes away. The two musicians integrate their instruments with incredible skill. I hate to give it a four star rating. The music is worth the 5. The loooooong, live applause tracks detract from the album. The asides by the musicians are sometimes hard to hear. Minor aggravations aside,this album plays frequently, very frequently, in our home,car, iPods, etc.

Cool Pairing for Meyer/Fleck Fans.......2007-01-02

I've seen both Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck live (unfortunately not together) and I really think this album just captures the magic of their live shows: I can almost see them in my living room together! For those not so familiar with the music of one or both the inclusion of classical tunes with those composed by Meyer/Fleck and other contemporary songwriters is a cool drink of water. Music for Two is a good intro to the world of cozy bluegrass.

Bela Fleck + Edgar Meyer = strange mixture .......2006-11-10

Bela Fleck is one of the my jazz favorites... And hi with combination called Edgar Meyer are... great music!!!

Virtuosity Knows No Musical Boundaries.......2006-10-22

Béla Fleck & Edgar Meyer are both extraordinarily accomplished musicians who spend much of their time in very different worlds: Fleck in his newgrass space and Meyer in a more classical mode. But each has travelled in the other's territory before, and on this CD they connect around more genres than you can shake a stick at. In addition to their own compositions they tackle many of their joint favorites. The affection shows in the passion of the playing and the obvious camaraderie. And the accompanying DVD is a treat. Don't miss this one.

Awesome stuff!!.......2007-06-03

Alright, you have to agree that "some" songs remind one of AC/DC, but for me, like other Metal/Hard-Rock lovers, "Rhino Bucket" add's a touch of sleaze that just sets it on fire!! "Sights Too High" gets this collection fired off...great song! Followed by "Been There, Done That" and "Nothing To Loose". "One Night Stand" is here as a "LIVE" recording, as well as, "Beat To Death Like A Dog", "Hey There", "Ride The Rhino", and "Train Ride"! The "LIVE" songs will peal the paint off your walls!!! The original demo's that round out the album are just what you remember....awesome!! Anything "Rhino Bucket" is a must have addition to any collection! Whether you are new to the "Rhino", or a schooled veteran, pick this one up and throw a party!!!!

A Great Collection Of Rare Tracks.......2007-02-18

As all Rhino Bucket fans know, all of their albums are out of print, but their new one. If You don't want to spend the all the time & money trying to find those albums, then this one is definately for you. It contains the original demos, plus live versions of some of there greatest songs like One Night Stand & Hey There. This would also be good if you've never heard them before, it would give you a kinda greatest hits if you will. This is really a great album and i know any person who likes AC/DC will not be dissapointed.

Kate Wolf's songs still ring true years after her death. This loving tribute contains 14 heartfelt covers culled from the repertoire of the singer-songwriter, who died of leukemia in 1986. From Kathy Mattea's serene opener, "Give Yourself to Love," to Terry Garthwaite's near-tears closer, "Thinking About You," it's apparent that all involved in the project (from the contributing artists to producer Nina Gerber, who collaborated with Wolf through much of her career) hold Wolf in the highest esteem. Highlights here include Dave Alvin's gruff "These Times We're Living In," Nanci Griffith's mournful "Friend of Mine," and Rosalie Sorrels's sweet-as-an-angel version of "In China or a Woman's Heart." --Alexandra Russell

Customer Reviews:

Awesome Tribute CD.......2005-12-05

"Treasures Left Behind" is meant to be a tribute to the late folk-singer Kate Wolf. It's full of her beautiful music, sung by other artists who were either moved by Kate Wolf the person, or by her music.

One of the things I love about this collection is that it includes an insert with a lot of great stories about Kate Wolf, as well as the words to each song.

I found all of the songs on this CD to be both awesome and thought provoking. So, I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys folk-type music - these songs have "real" meaning...

Kate Wolf Music, Kate Wolf People.......2004-02-05

Look at all the musicians here and who they are and what they mean. Go on any page for any Kate Wolf recording and see how many people feel moved to write about Kate and what she meant to them. You are smart if you read all those comments, smarter if you get as much Kate Wolf and her friends as you can, and are lucky, blessed to have found Kate even though she is no longer with us on Earth, she is here with her music, with the spirit that she has inspired.

Kate's "Red Tailed Hawk" will always be inscribed on my brain its beauty its realness, its aptness, and the reality of the golden rolling hills of California. So perfect and beautiful even though I never had a tape or LP or a CD of it until 12 years after it came out, until after we lost Kate. Still its power comes to me as it did on an old radio sitting in an Oakland apartment, the signal fighting its way all the way up from KFAT ("because we need the bucks) down in Gilroy.

The vision of California that Kate weaves on all her records is preciseless, unique real, and a treasure even if much of it is sweeten myth.

I feel so bad that I lived in San Fransisco and Oakland and travelled up and down California and the West Coast in the late 1970s and early 1980s when Kate was doing her best work and only saw her sing once. There was something to her voice that gets through to me, something pure. Part of Kate's magic is the superb arrangements and backup that got from the musical genius Nina Gerber her main accompaniest. Nina is now out there solo alot. If you like guitar and this kind music check out Nina too.
Oh Kate, why didn't we realize how much of a golden treasure you were when you were among us. In her memory think of a performer you might miss like we all miss Kate--well that isnt fair because thats a big ideal to measure up to--how about someone you would miss half or a quarter as much as I miss Kate, and make sure you go see them while you can, and maybe bring a friend, bring two. How about going to see everyone on this record who is touring and ask them to do a Kate Wolf song, or better, ask them to do whatever song Kate liked them to play for her.

sweet love..........2001-10-15

This CD will bring you to tears...all the artists that paid tribute to Kate Wolf did so with all their hearts...every song is done with tender loving care and honor the memory of this beautiful song writer...

Radiant proof that Kate Wolf was a first rate lyricist.......2001-07-03

I love these songs more than those that I've heard Kate Wolf herself sing. Lucinda William's contribution is perfect.

In memoriam Kate.......2001-06-14

A lovingly produced tribute to the late folk singer/songwriter. Some of the artists -- John Gorka, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams -- never met her but are fervent admirers. Others -- U Utah Phillips, Terry Garthwaite, Peter Rowan, Greg Brown -- worked with her. Each seems moved to invest something of their soul in the songs, and the result is extremely moving. Best tracks? Well, they're all great, but I'd give the nod to Dave Alvin's world-weary take on These Times We're Living In, and the age-meets-experience of Phillips on See Here She Said and Rosalie Sorrel's In China Or A Woman's Heart; and the instrumental version of Back Roads by Nina Gerber, Kate's own guitarist, who also acted as the producer and motivating force behind the project. If you don't know anything about Kate Wolf, you'll be a fan by the time the record's over; if you're already a fan, you'll be intrigued and moved by the different approach each artist brings to these songs. Get it; you'll never regret it.

Customer Reviews:

Sheer beauty from Agnes Baltsa.......2005-06-23

This disc from Agnes Baltsa (Greek opera-singer) containing the most beautiful Greek songs is a real treat. It's recorded in the -80s when she was around 40 and in her prime. The songs are written by famous Greek composers like Theodorakis, Hadjidakis and Tsitsanis. My only complaint is that the cd only contains 11 songs. I wish it had at least 11 more.... But fortunately, my cd-player has a "repeat-button".......(Which I might add, is soon worn-out..)

For people unfamiliar with either Greek music or opera, this is the place to start. To me it seems that Greek music often is a matter of strong likes/dislikes, as is opera. You either love it or you hate it. After listening to this disc you will definitely want to seek out more recordings of Greek music and/or opera-recordings featuring Agnes Baltsa.

I know and love Agnes Baltsa from the opera stage, but even so, this record still amazes me. You will not hear her belt out painfully high notes like an opera-star on this cd - just beautiful singing throughout the whole disc. She also has a clear phrasing which I think is great, because it enables me to understand what the songs are all about. Being a classically trained singer one should perhaps think her voice unsuitable for simple-styled Greek folk songs. You couldn't be more wrong. Her crystal clear voice lends an elegancy to the songs that has to be heard to be believed. I'm a long time fan of Greek music and own a lot of recordings from various Greek artists, but never have I heard these songs so beautifully sung. This is definitely my "desert-island-recording" of Greek songs. I never tire of hearing them played again and again and again....

My favourite tracks from the disc have to be "Oniro pedion tis gitonias", "to treno fevgi stis okto", "O tahidromos" and "Arhontissa" and not to mention "Varkarolla". Her voice is just so hauntingly beautiful in these tracks. Don't be surprised if you end up in tears. But really, all the tracks are real treasures, gift-wrapped in Baltsa's velvet voice. It's a treat to hear Baltsa sing in her native tongue for the first time. It's obvious that she feels perfectly at ease here. She captures the melancholic beauty of the Greek soul so wonderfully. To me it's a mystery why she hasn't recorded more of this sort (at least I haven't been able to find any...)

The Athens Experimental Orchestra which is playing on this disc also deserves some words of praise. They make the Greek instruments sound heavenly and in the instrumental parts of the songs you just want to get up and dance.

This disc is really a proof of Greek supremacy - the music, the lyrics and Agnes Baltsa's singing - so simple and yet so powerful and breathtakingly beautiful. What more can I say? Just buy the cd ASAP!

A Wonderful Collection.......2004-12-10

This album was first released by Deutsche Grammophon (DG) in 1986 under the title "Agnes Baltsa, Songs My Country Taught Me." I have owned it and enjoyed it for probably 15 years. It's a wonderful collection of very melodious Greek folk songs with fine arrangements sung by one of the great mezzo sopranos of our time. It's great that DG has seen fit to re-release it so many of you can also enjoy it. Buy it; you won't regret it.

Great Soundtrack for a Great Movie!.......2003-01-19

Left Behind: The Movie Soundtrack is one of my personal favorites in my music collection, although when I purchased it I was kind of expecting an edgier mix of music. However, this soundtrack is worth the purchase price.

This soundtrack features a variety of artists, including Michael W. Smith, Joy Williams, Third Day, Plus One, Avalon, Fred Hammond, LaRue, Jake, Rebecca St. James, Bob Carlisle, Kathy Troccoli, V-Enna, Clay Crosse, and Bryan Duncan w/ Shine. It contains 15 tracks:

1. Never Been Unloved (Bruce Barne's Song) - Michael W. Smith

2. I Believe in You - Joy Williams

3. Sky Falls Down (Israel Is Attacked) - Third Day

4. I Need a Miracle - Plus One

5. Hide My Soul - Avalon

6. Can't Wait for You to Return - Fred Hammond

7. Midnight Cry - Various Artists

8. Fly (Chloe's Song) - LaRue

9. Believer - Jake

10. Come Quickly, Lord - Rebecca St. James

11. After All (Rayford's Song) - Bob Carlisle

12. Live for the Lord (Irene's Song) - Kathy Troccoli

13. All the Way to Heaven - V-Enna

14. No Fear (Panic in the Streets) - Clay Crosse

15. Left Behind Main Theme - performed by Bryan Duncan w/ Shine

My favorite tracks on this soundtrack would have to be Believer, No Fear, Sky Falls Down, and Fly. Midnight Cry is pretty good, too, and is featured in a music video at the end of Left Behind: The Movie.

One reason this soundtrack is unique is because each of the main characters in the movie has their own theme songs, which go well with their unique personalities and demeanors.

Most of the songs on this CD deal with the Rapture of the church, such as Can't Wait for You to Return, Midnight Cry, Fly, Come Quickly Lord, and Left Behind Main Theme.

In concluding this review, I say that this soundtrack is the perfect compliment to Left Behind fans. However, you can still enjoy this soundtrack even if you didn't enjoy the movie. Fans of contemporary Christian music will love this soundtrack.

An interesting collection of songs!.......2002-09-02

I don't really listen to Christian pop music that much. But I liked the music from the movie "Left Behind", so I picked up "The Movie Soundtrack" today. I was kind of expecting some rock music spread out through the CD. It was mainly just pop music. Not that that is bad, the CD is acutally very good. The thing that's weird is the songs are all out of order. The Theme Song is actually at the end. The first track is Michael W. Smith (I really like his music) and so on, track 15 is where you'll find "Left Behind". Just thought that I should inform you. I have noticed that the CD is in 2 different covers. The one I have just has the plane wheels, an orange background and the runway. The one that Amazon has is one with Kirk Cameron on the cover. Anyway here's what I personally think of the soundtrack:
This CD is awesome! I just wish that someone would release a rock version with more songs inspired by the characters. Anyway, if you enjoyed the movie, then pick this CD up. Its worth every second of it. But I warn you: The enhanced CD portion of the disc will freeze up and you will have to "Ctrl,Alt,Delete" to get out of it, so don't use that unless you want to see some great menus then "X" out. The rest of the CD works though.

My new favorite CD!.......2002-05-13

I am a Christian who has been reading the books for a few weeks,( I'm almost done with Nicolae)and i love the movie but the books are kinda better. I love watching the music videos so i got the cd. I LOVE IT!!!! Even though the track order is [messed] up who cares? My favorites are; Hide my Soul, Sky falls down,* Beliver *, No fear, and Left Behind. If your not a Christian you probably won't like or understand the music, but if you're into good no i mean GREAT CHRISTIAN MUSIC then this is definately for u. I listen to it like 5 times a day!

Good, but Disappointing.......2002-05-12

I enjoy listening to this CD, but it's a little disappointing. I hope high hopes after watching the movie and seeing the ad for the CD at the end of it. But, the music I received didn't quite match up to my expectations. Further, the music on the disc itself isn't even in the same order as the list on the jewel case.

A great choice.......2002-04-05

If you like Contemporary Christian Music, you will love this CD. It has many CCM favorite artists. All of the songs are awesome, but my favorite is "Fly" by LaRue. I also recommend the WoW 2000 CD.

Great Mix of Music.......2003-01-22

This soundtrack for Left Behind 2: Tribulation Force is a CD that contains a great mix of contemporary Christian music that any fan of this music genre should consider purchasing. Most of the songs on this soundtrack are songs dealing with the Rapture of the church, signs of the time, and God's help in troubled times, which makes this soundtrack similar to the soundtrack for the first Left Behind movie. However, this soundtrack is somewhat different in that this soundtrack is not as fast-paced as the first soundtrack, meaning the first soundtrack contained songs that were somewhat more upbeat. This soundtrack has a somewhat mellow tone to it. But that is a minor disappointment, and all the songs on this CD have a distinct contemporary feeling to it.

This soundtrack's creative mix of music includes:

1. Suddenly - performed by Russ Lee

2. It's My Desire - performed by Kelly Garner

3. In the Sky - performed by Bob Carlisle/Russ Lee/Ashlee Cleveland - played at the ending credits of the Trib Force movie.

4. Freedom Song - performed by Matt Brouwer - a truly excellent song, my personal favorite on this CD.

5. I See Jesus - performed by Greg Long

6. Lamb of God - performed by Rebecca St. James - another excellent song.

7. Rain - performed by Bob Carlisle

8. I Love You - performed by Abee

9. The Greatest Mystery - performed by Rick Muchow - another pretty great song.

Authenric Music with traditional instruments........2000-09-17

For those of you who enjoy the music, as it was sung and played during the Civil War, this recording is a "must!" J.A. McA.

Living history.......1999-07-31

So shoot me. I like bagpipe music and I like fife and drum recordings and I like brass bands. Recently cruisin' the Internet brought me to the website of a company called Summit Records out in Arizona; and my eye was caught by the title (DCD 126) with a group calling itself The Americus Brass Band. I obtained a copy post haste and I want to all to know about it with equal rapidity. There is just short of 55 minutes of Civil War tunes played in a style that is "historically accurate, right down to the high military pitch and the clicking of the rotary valves on the original antique instruments employed" (as the notes tell us). The history of the band is available in those notes, so let me just dwell on the "music that still produces feelings of humor, joy, sadness, and patriotic pride." Well, what music does not produce at least one of those?--and I am not entirely sure there was anything about the Civil War of which we on either side should be particularly proud. But Sing a Song of Suffering seems to be an eternal way of making the best of a rotten situation during war time; and this CD is replete with such memories as "Tenting Tonight," "Amazing Grace," "Woodman, Spare That Tree," and even a little bit of the "William Tell Overture" and a Meyerbeer opera! In short, this is not the expected line up of soldier songs but selections that are "typical of that which might have been played by a group such as the Americus Brass band." I love it. Give it a try, please.

Album Description

Holiday blues comin' on? Well, put a spike in `em! Here's the zaniest, wildest and just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet—79 tracks from Spike Jones and his City Slickers! These represent Spike's complete Standard Transcription sides, but these tunes are anything but standard; Mr. Jones brought his full bag of tricks for these non-commercial recordings (made in Hollywood during the early `40s). Add to that the fact that most of these have never been on CD or even LP, and any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs and hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes and great pictures accompany this 3-CD walk on the wacky side from the greatest novelty band of all time.

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Cure for the Blues.......2003-04-25

Here's the zaniest, wildest and just plain sickest Collectors' Choice Music exclusive yet-79 tracks from Spike Jones and his City Slickers! These represent Spike's complete Standard Transcription sides, but these tunes are anything but standard; Mr. Jones brought his full bag of tricks for these non-commercial recordings (made in Hollywood during the early `40s). Add to that the fact that most of these have never been on CD or even LP, and any lover of Spike's mayhem-filled mixture of laughs and hot licks is going to flip over this set! Notes and great pictures accompany this 3-CD walk on the wacky side from the greatest novelty band of all time.

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

Tracks:

I know where I'm going
She moved through the fair
The lark in the clear air
Down by the sally gardens
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
The spring time of the year
The sprig of thyme
The bold grenadier
The British Grenadiers
The dark eyed sailor
The keel row
The girl I left behind me
Just as the tide was flowing
The cuckoo
O waly, waly
She's like the swallow
The lover's ghost
Willow song
The willow tree
Wassail song
The miller of Dee
O can ye sew cushions
Afton water
Golden slumbers

A whole disc of choral arrangements of folk tunes could be too much--except in this case, the choir is the excellent Cambridge Singers, and the well-chosen arrangements cover a variety of composers and styles. Among the arrangers are Rutter, Vaughan Williams, and Daryl Runswick; the repertoire includes a hauntingly gorgeous "She moved through the fair" and 23 other selections. --David Vernier

Typical of Cambridge Singers--A good thing.......2005-06-14

This is very typical of John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers. Superbly performed, meaning not too forceful or too delicate. Diction and tone excellent. The folk song is not necessairly as entertaining or enjoyable as some of their other repertoire, nor is it as meaningful, but it still a powerful listening experience. The money for this recording will be well spent. The arrangements, well chosen, showcase beautiful, evocative choral singing. Vaughan Williams' arrangements are best, and he is well known for his arrangements of folk songs. Rutter's are good, but his harmonies are too often predictable or saccharine.

Best are: Dashing away with the smoothing iron (5), The Dark Eyed Sailor (10), The Girl I Left Behind Me (12), Just as the tide was flowing (13), O waly, waly (15)

Beautifully Lyrical Folk Melodies a la Rutter.......2000-09-28

This is a collection of Irish, Scottish, and English folk songs beautifully caressed by The Cambridge Singers under the masterful direction of John Rutter. He seems to possess an uncanny ability to create a uniquely lush and lyrical sound with a choir.

In listening to these songs, I find that they have the capacity to simultaneously evoke feelings of melancholy and joy, and, ultimately leave me to conclude that I have been visited by sheer beauty.

The Lark touches my own heart!.......2000-04-27

In this review I am going to be exceptionally candid! This CD is a wonderfully arranged and performed set of traditional songs that will be treasured by any lover of this delicate yet vigorous music. I was a child of post war England in a poor suburb of South East England and our music teacher used to make us sing these songs which came from The National Song Book and from the folk song collectors, notably Vaughan Williams who put so much of this national flavor into his two collections, 'The English Hymnal' and 'Songs of Praise'. Before our generation the BBC had set up a radio programme called 'Listen with Mother' which we followed the established tradition of listening to them in those years of austerity (its funny you know, but we did not seem to get bored like they do today) on November evenings when the pea souper fogs swirled around the blue mercury lamps as the coal glowed orange in the grate. This music transported us to May mornings, harvesting, landscapes peopled with grenadiers, young love sick swains tip toeing in forbidden rooms at night etc. from these bleak afternoons and gave us the promise of the return of the season when we will be able to walk the Downs under blue skies once more. They also made us think that we were part of a continuum of being young, loving, having children and growing old and dying on this misty offshore island as hundred of generations had done before us. This self-consciousness of these characteristics that made us English and in their understated passion they revealed to us the promises of adulthood together with its victories, disillusionments and inevitable tragedies. Alas, the powers that dictate the conventional wisdom today have consigned these songs to the trash basket of history in the name of multiculturalism and globalism. The songs are not sung today as they appear too ethnocentric in a pluralistic society for our contemporary captains of society. This is a shame for those of us with no real English blood could still participate and enjoy these lovely songs that summon up the freshness of a spring morning or the pangs of a spurned lover in a few lines of beautifully stated verse. These are universal feelings that just happened to be in an English setting, which was where we were! The arrangements here are sublime, particularly 'She moved through the Fair' which always moves me to tears. The subject 'What are the English?' is a current topic for the UK is still settling down after Devolution and finding its own identity. They could do worse than playing 'The Lark in the Clear Air' to answer this question tout court. Please buy, but be warned: this stuff can be dangerously upsetting in its waves of nostalgia. It is like meeting a long lost (and forgotten) friend. That is an (almost lost) part of yourself.

Beautifully sung under Rutter's usual masterful directions. Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron and the Dark Eyed Sailor were my favorites.

Customer Reviews:

Trust me; it is really a very good CD.......2005-06-16

In 1969, I have bought the Longplaying "March in review - Stirring U.S. service marches - Band of the Grenadier Guards". It is the original recording on London SP44131 and it was considered at that time as one of the best military music recordings ever done. This CD contains exactly the same tunes payed exactly in the same manner and it is always a powerful recording. Listen Anchors Aweigh and you will hear the sound of the waves. No other band can do that. Listen "Ballad of the green berets", "Semper Paratus", "She wore a yellow ribbon" or "Thru the years" and you will understand why I like it. Trust me; it is really a very good CD.

Great marches........ Poor rendidtion.......2004-09-08

These are stirring marches but these renditions are like the score from a BAD B war movie.

Stirring Marchesof the US Services.......2004-01-29

While I applaud the efforts of the Grenadier Guards to honor our services, I am afraid that their effort has failed miserably. This CD is awful!

Stirring Marches of the USA Services.......2003-06-26

I agree with who ever wrote the following review 100%. This this CD is awful.

"So much orchestral embellishment that one can't even pick out the tune you want to hear. What a mess they've made of simple powerful music."

Uplifting and Great!.......2001-12-02

I just recieved this cd in the mail and cannot stop listening to it. It is uplifting and makes you want to stand up and start marching. Truly patriotic and American, buy this one! Don't listen to the person who said that they made a mess of this cd. This is one of the great ones!
