5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, January 29, 2005
This is a wonderful collection of great songs representing the U.S. The Boston Pops have done a remarkable job in getting each song started nice smooth and then as it goes on, it collects more and more energy until the end of the song, where I was left shivering. My favorites are Alexander's Ragtime Band, When the Saints Go Marching In, and Stars and Stripes Forever. Not only do they sound great, the energy is stunning. I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes classic songs that you can really feel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pops Concert, August 1, 2003
By J. Ames "Spirit of 76" (Philadelphia USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a nice Sunday afternoon concert. It's popular enough that most everyone will recognize the program. Of course it is well performed. You're toes will be tapping before long!
