This is the Sousa record for people who are serious about marches. Sousa was the greatest march composer in the history of, well, marching, and this disc includes many fresh and interesting pieces that will likely be unfamiliar, as well as a couple of favorites (including "The Liberty Bell," famous as the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus). But by and large, this disc focuses on the less well known pieces, though there's not a dud in the lot. Sousa had a special gift for orchestration and for writing tunes with real rhythmic interest; his marches never sound dull. Frederick Fennell is the simply the best wind band conductor around, and these performances are standard- setters. --David Hurwitz

4 out of 5 stars Fennell Brings Out the Best in Sousa 's Marches.......2004-02-21

This is an outstanding CD. The sound quality is very good. The instrumental balance is very good. It's interesting to compare the rather subtle difference in the percussion section performance between the two recording dates, particulalarly the cymbalist.
Sousa had an uncanny ability to score the cymbal strike at places which add significantly to the listening experience.
Hats off to Sousa, Fennell,and the Eastman Wind Ensemble

4 out of 5 stars A solid Sousa album that comes up a bit short.......2003-01-26

In the 60s, Fennell and the Eastman Wind ensemble recorded a good amount of marches by Sousa, many released on this album, and the rest (as far as I know) on the album Hands Across the Sea. As many of Sousa's best marches are on that later album, this one falls a bit short of greatness -- but not my much.

Sousa knew his marches, writting something like 200 of them, and almost every one of these is a great example of how to write a good march. Indeed, The Liberty Bell and Manhatten Beach are two of my alltime favorite marches. However, being prolific often means that there will be misses, and many here, while written well, just aren't all that memorable. I'd be hard pressed to be able to identify such pieces as The Gallant Seventh, New Mexico, or the Black Horse Troop unless I had just listened to them.

Still, one has to admire the creative way Sousa sometimes put his music together. The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company uses the song 'Aude Lang Syne' for its trio, and it fits so well that it's hard to believe he didn't write it himself. The Liberty Bell uses tubular bells in *just* the right spots that it makes an impact every time one listens. And Sabre And Spurs uses wook blocks to simulate horses, which also works great.

So overall, this is a solid album that has its ups and downs. The sound quality is great, haveing a certain amount of 'bite' that's almost impossible with digital recordings, the playing impecable, and there's plenty of variety.

5 out of 5 stars The Mastery of Fennell.......2002-01-28

I've owned this CD for several years, and bought a copy recently as a Christmas gift. Frederick Fennell is a modern master of band and marches, and I own several of his recordings. What makes this CD a standout for me is the Mercury Living Presence recording and remastering method. I own over two dozen of this series because Living Presence does indeed represent a different method of producing music for the recorded media. It DOES sound more lifelike to me than conventional multimike recordings. To anyone considering purchase of this CD I'd recommend also ordering 'Screamers', the Living Presence CD of circus marches. To me this is feel-good music at its best, and terrific for listing in the car! Additionally, the Living Presence series stands out for its excellent liner notes with explanations of the Living Presence method. This CD is a keeper. Incidentally, the recipient of this CD has since gone out and bought several other Living Presence CD's after hearing this!s

5 out of 5 stars MASTERFUL RENDITIONS IN GLORIOUS RECORDED SOUND.......2001-11-16

An utterly masterful set, containing many of Sousa's unjustly neglected works. (An integral recording of his complete marches is overdue by a good half-century.*) Fennell conducts with incredible verve, and the Eastman Wind Ensemble responds in kind, with immaculately tight and polished performances. The recording is demonstration-class. Sousa has never sounded better, and probably never will.

*EDIT: Actually, a nearly-complete recording of the marches has been available, as of the time of this review, for at least a good quarter-century--first on LP, now on CD: that being, a series of analog recordings by The Detroit Concert Band, led by Leonard B. Smith. Currently available from Walking Frog Records (on five CDs), the DCB/Smith collection unfortunately suffers from some serious problems--not the least of which is the highly variable and substandard quality of the recorded sound.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic well preserved.......2001-09-28

This one's a Classic and the sound is remarkable considering
when it was recorded. Viva Mercury Records!

I do wish more of the familiar Sousa stuff was included.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2005-08-13

I think I have an earlier version of this CD but the contents are identical (released 1987, Pro-Arte) This compiles 20 of the greatest marches from the vaults of Intersound records.

All the marches are digital recordings performed by four great orchestras from all over the world:

London's Royal Promenade Orchestra conducted by Alfred Gehardt (track1)

Houstons' Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sergiu Comissiona (2,3,7-9,14,15

Bamberg's Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gary Bertini (track 4)

The University of Michigan Symphony conducted by H.R. Reynolds (5,6,10-13,16-19)

The CD runs smoothly and is tracked in a wonderful listening order. If you enjoy this I recommend "Pomp and Pizazz" by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinatti Pops, great companion CD to this one without too many duplication in tracks.

I'm sure there have been superior march CDs released in the past 20 years, but I've had this one for as long and I still love it.

5 out of 5 stars One Of My Newest Favorites.......2004-07-14

I've just discovered the awesome marches of John Phillip Sousa in the past year. I have several very good Sousa compilations that feature his best known Marches like "Stars & Stripes Forever" and "King Cotton." What I enjoy about this compilation is that it contains a plethora of great Sousa Marches, most of which I never heard before.

I'm strictly a layperson when it comes to classical music, so if my take on Sousa sounds choppy & neanderthol, please pardon me!

This is the third Sousa CD I bought that is conducted by the United States Marine Band, and so far, I enjoy their take on John Phillip Sousa Marches heads above the rest. When a Sousa March moves me, it is because it is more than uplifting; it is sheer elation, a pure mood enhancer when waking up in the morning. "The President's Own" delivers this spirit better than any other source I have heard. The pace is brisk, but not rushed. I've heard other bands' versions of Sousa where the conductor seems to let the chief instruments overshadow others (the flute often seems to be one of the characters drowned out), where the instrumentals in The Marine Band sound so beautifully distributed that I often find myself listening to a March I've heard countless times, and suddenly hear a rhythm or melody from a wind instrument I had never noticed before.

If you have never heard many of John Phillips Sousa's Marches before, this is a good place to start. "Fairest Of the Fair" starts with such an optimistic and energetic pace that it is a hard act for the following tracks to follow. This was the first time I heard the March, and it has become one of my top five Sousa favorites. The next track delivers with "Hands Across the Sea." The persons who compiled this collection have a great ear for Marches as nothing disappointed me. Two tunes that especially grabbed me are "High School Cadets" and the exotic "The Picador."

John Phillip Sousa is one of the most enjoyable musical discoveries I have come across in years. Give this CD a shot, I think you will find it a fabulous listening experience!

5 out of 5 stars GOOD OLE SOUSA.......2004-01-14

Indeed it is a must have classic of a truly great American Composer. Taken from the vaults of the amazing and historic Marine Band this is a classic for any true American Band Lover. The product is superb and well mixed, Bravo to its creators and bravo to those who bring this hard to find music to us in such excellent form.

3 out of 5 stars Not Great Sousa!.......2003-11-07

Despite the fact that this is the Marine band playing Sousa I would not rcommend this product. The selection of Sousa marches is standard, the length of the CD is too short for the price, and the recording quality is poor. There are better Sousa albums elsewhere.

    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.

      5 out of 5 stars A great Sousa, a great price.......2003-02-06

      There are a lot of Sousa albums offered on Amazon and I looked throught them all. This album has most of the Sousa chestnuts and that was what I was looking for. I only wanted a CD to listen to while I was on the treadmill. And the price was very right. What I wasn't expecting was a really terrific CD. I can't say that its full of amazing musical artistry as there are some obvious wrong notes in the wrong places. But on the other hand the recording is very clear without a lot of recording tricks, its full of enthusiasm and captures the march spirit perfectly. It's like the country's best town brass band, and the amazing thing is the country is Checkoslovakia. (Or what was Checkoslovakia.) Its a great album.

      5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Sousa Albums Ever.......2000-07-31

      If you like Sousa marches, this would should not be missed. I was introduced to Sousa in 1975 when I purchased this record. From that day foward, collecting a recording of every Sousa march became my goal. Before I lost my entire collection in fire (July 2000), I had over 20 different bands playing Sousa. This was my favorite album because of the good use of dynamics and because it brought accompaniment parts that usually can not be heard when other bands play the same march. Compare what this band does with the first strain of Stars and Stripes compared to any other band. There are bands with better technical expertise, but this one seems to bring a fresh approach. Sadly, there are many albums I will not be able to replace, but I did meet my goal and I'm going for it again, starting with this album.

      4 out of 5 stars Good band music CD but short on time.......2006-08-31

      This is a good-quality wind band CD, but be aware that it is rather short, with a total time of only 39:20.

      2 out of 5 stars on parade.......2005-04-18

      The quality on this cd was not very good. The only excellent track on this cd is the Circus Bee march. The track with Washington Gray's march was a terrible recording of a excellent march because the tempo was way too slow. The rest of the tracks were average at their best.

      5 out of 5 stars The best money you will ever spend........1999-07-20

      This ensemble plays both with precision and bravura. It successfully exploits the rich sonorities and full color pallate of the brass band through performances of a good, representative sample of the genre. The recording quality is quite good. I highly recommend the recording.

      5 out of 5 stars Outstanding musicianship, precision and interpretation.......1999-06-10

      The University of Michigan Symphony Band is obviously a talented and disciplined group. The precision of the rhythms and the imaginative interpretation of these marches jumps right off the CD. This is a truly professional recording and a great example of what well-played marches sound like.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellect production of military marches........1998-10-09

      This digitally recorded CD has sparkling, crisp sound. The band numbers are well chosen and stirs up military visions of bygone formations and parades. I rate this recording as one of the best I have heard in the past twenty years. I was shocked at the most reasonable price and the high quality of the recording. An excellent buy!
