Very good album. Some of the music was obscure, but most was familiar. Nicely done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good double CD at a good price, June 21, 2005
This review is from: The Voice of America (Audio CD)
2 CD for only 6$ plus shipping and handling is a good price. The quality and the choices of tunes are good and the quality of recording is good too. The orchestras, the singers and the choirs are good too. So, if the titles of tunes please you, it is a good 2-CD boxset to buy. If you are an American, I am sure that you know all these tunes. If you are not an American, you will say to yourself : "I think that I have heard this song somewhere."
