5.0 out of 5 stars Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops are as American as apple pie, July 16, 2000

For those of us who have enjoyed the irrepressible Maestro Kunzel and the effevescent Cincinnati Pops Orchestra for so many years both live, on Cd and on PBS, this collection of Americana is as good as it gets. Sousa, long revered as America's March King, shines on these discs as the composer of delightful dance tunes and even 'The Presidential Polonaise' a worthy contender with the weighty European prcessional. Its a pity that the President doesn't trot this out for White House functions. The tunes are every bit a Fourth of July celebration. The spoken word piece, 'Casey at the Bat' couldn't have a better narrator than Johnny Bench,a man who knows the score about baseball. So, if you want to have yourself up and marching and dancing and laughing around the house, buy this collection and treat youself to a holiday any day of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Broadway Assemblage Here is Magnificent, February 28, 2011

Overtures to Oh, Kay!, Girl Crazy, Of Thee I Sing, the Slaughter on 10th Avenue ballet AND The Carousel Waltz all in one disc recorded by a big orchestra? That's remarkable and appreciated.
