4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection., October 13, 2008

By	nofires "nofires" (Peekskill, NY USA) - See all my reviews

The breadth of the collection is impressive. Biased toward the first half of the 20th century, with some notable exceptions. The Piston fanfare is a delight, as are the WWII-inspired items. The performance is very good, and the recording somewhat less so, but still quite enjoyable.
