Brandenburg once more hits the bull's-eye with this excellent collection of historic fanfares, marches, and songs from the archives of Germany's great military music tradition, including fine renditions of Ernst Moritz Arndt's tribute to Field Marshal Blucher ("Was blasen die Trompeten?")and other items from the Wars of Liberation (1813-15) and World War I. The recordings are surprisingly good; restoration is outstanding, the booklet highly informative.

Brandenburg Excels Again

I love German military music , but was never a great fan of the cavalry marches... at least until I played Wohlauf, Kameraden last week and then it all changed. Wow!

The good folks at Brandenburg Historica have only one standard for what they produce ... increasing excellence! This 4th album in their series of German military music and chorus is proof positive. Brandenburg Historica sets the gold standard for producing military archival cd's. The extensive illustrated detailed notes that accompany the album demonstrate the labor of love that went into this work which all of us can now enjoy.

I am amazed at the high sound quality! It is the best sounding CD that Brandenburg Historica has produced!
I was pleased to find that it had many unknown pieces (to me). Such as the Hurra, Viktoia-Reiterlied. As with all of there previously released cd's the booklet is well done and very informative. This album helps to fill a very important gap in my library.I highly recommend this CD and the other CD's released by Brandenburg Historica. [...]

Excellent quality in both the intrumental playing and the men's choral group singing. My personal favorite is the rendition of Wilhelm Hauff's poem "Morgenrot" (Dawn). Now if I could only find recordings of this quality of the old U.S. Horse Cavalry songs....
