3.0 out of 5 stars A Somewhat Disapointing CD, January 31, 2001

By	Peach R. Trail "peachr" (King, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this CD thinking it would be more or less like the original sound track of the "Victory At Sea" TV series. It falls short in that respect. The music on this CD is of very good quality from a classical point of view but only track 10 called "Victory At Sea" which lasts 11 minutes is what I consider to be true music from the TV series and movie. The rest of the music has a nautical theme but looking at the front label makes you think you are getting all "Victory At Sea" selections. I would not purchase this CD if the sound track music is what you are looking for. If you just want good military band music with a hint of the "Victory at Sea" theme then this would probably be a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD!, January 18, 2001

By	Angela Willoughby "[e-mail]" (Clinton, MS, usa) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent CD. The US Navy band is one of the best musical ensembles in the world, and this CD proves it! My personal favorite is the selection "Songs of Sailor and Sea". I was fortunate to have performed this piece with a highschool state honor band, and it is extremely difficult to play, both technically and musically. All of the other selections are wonderful, also. I think anyone would enjoy this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Victory at Sea, US Navy Band, March 17, 2000

By A Customer

very good, but not the expected NBC Orchestas version (original). Especially, Anchors aweigh was a bit of a disappointment. Arrangement could use a lot more polish - Sousa style!
