5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Marches by Bandleader, February 14, 2000

I first heard this CD from my local library. It sparkles! My favorite is "Old Comrades" by The Band of the Corps of Royal Engineers. I liked the CD so much that I placed my order with Amazon to have it permanently. English military bands, wonderful light marching music. One of the few marching music CD's I can listen to over and over again. One of the best marching CD's available!

1.0 out of 5 stars The Great Marches, July 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Marches Vol. 1 (Audio CD)

The quality of this march music reminded me of competition between high school bands. I also bought "Greatest Hits Marches" which was about one half the price but twice the quality. The bands are apparently regimental bands from various British military units. Many of the selections were unfamiliar to me.
