Product is "ok",

This review is from: National Anthems of the World (Audio CD)
If you are looking for "Olympic quality" style and sound for national anthems, this product is not what you are after.
Very vanilla arrangements with no real "big sound" inspiration usually associated with symphony recordings of anthems. This is straight from the sheet music and played as is - with no artistic creativity whatsoever. Add to that a very annoying drum roll which is included throughout many anthems (far more pronounced than traditional ruffles), and essentially wrecks the American anthem. The collection is good if you are simply curious about what some foreign anthems sound like, or are trying to learn a specific anthem in order to play it yourself. However, should you be searching for listening enjoyment of a national anthem orchestral compilation, skip this CD.

The superior choice for anthems,

This review is from: National Anthems of the World (MP3 Download)
Last summer, we were planning a small town Olympics and needed anthems for the different "countries" being represented. We searched around on Amazon for them and came upon this mp3 album. The music was excellent and the album contained more anthems then any other albums we found. So we decided to buy it, and it was a good choice. The anthems were a hit at the Olympics. We will be using them again for this year's Olympics.
