Product description

Fennell,Frederick ~ Conducts Sousa

Amazon.com

This is the Sousa record for people who are serious about marches. Sousa was the greatest march composer in the history of, well, marching, and this disc includes many fresh and interesting pieces that will likely be unfamiliar, as well as a couple of favorites (including "The Liberty Bell," famous as the theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus). But by and large, this disc focuses on the less well known pieces, though there's not a dud in the lot. Sousa had a special gift for orchestration and for writing tunes with real rhythmic interest; his marches never sound dull. Frederick Fennell is the simply the best wind band conductor around, and these performances are standard- setters. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recording
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2011
Verified Purchase
I sneered at Sousa when I was younger, but his marches have grown on me over the years, because they are perfect and perfection cannot be denied. This disk contains many of his lesser known marches (omits Semper Fidelis, Washington Post March, Stars and Stripes Forever - widely available on other recordings), but those that are included are perfect gems.

This music comes from an era when people did not have the comforts and distractions of the 21st century, had hard luck, experienced war and financial ruin, disease and general hard times, but lived through them and prospered. Upbeat music was popular because people needed it. A careful listen to Sousa makes it evident that his marches were not one dimensional, but often included complex and minor key themes. Those that had experienced war first hand were well aware that it was not fun; Sousa's marches were written for people who knew the facts of life and death.

The recordings are from the early 1960s, and obviously analog, but excellent. Recording engineers in that era were perfecting the art of stereophonic recording for buyers that were becoming increasingly sophisticated and the quality that resulted from their efforts is evident in this disk.

The only thing better is a live performance of these pieces in the open air -- which is one of those things you remember your entire life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mastery of Fennell
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2002

I've owned this CD for several years, and bought a copy recently as a Christmas gift. Frederick Fennell is a modern master of band and marches, and I own several of his recordings. What makes this CD a standout for me is the Mercury Living Presence recording and remastering method. I own over two dozen of this series because Living Presence does indeed represent a different method of producing music for the recorded media. It DOES sound more lifelike to me than conventional multimike recordings. To anyone considering purchase of this CD I'd recommend also ordering 'Screamers', the Living Presence CD of circus marches. To me this is feel-good music at its best, and terrific for listing in the car! Additionally, the Living Presence series stands out for its excellent liner notes with explanations of the Living Presence method. This CD is a keeper. Incidentally, the recipient of this CD has since gone out and bought several other Living Presence CD's after hearing this!s

3.0 out of 5 stars Read the Track List and Reviews Before You Buy!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2012

This is not a so much a review of the "Fennell Conducts Sousa" CD, which by all accounts is terrific, but rather a warning to prospective buyers to read the track listing carefully and to read more than just the headlines of the reviews.

A couple of weeks ago it occurred to me that it would be fun to have a CD of Sousa marches to play this 4th of July. A quick search of amazon.com turned up this Fennell album with a five star rating and rave reviews with headlines and comments like:

* "A Great Compilation of Sousa's Marches"

* "Probably will not be bettered"

* "If there is ONE Sousa cd to get, this is definitely a top candidate."

Well, that sold me.

So, without reading further, I impulsively clicked on the button:

----------------------
"Buy now with 1-Click"
----------------------

The CD arrived a few days later. I popped it into my CD player to listen to while I washed the lunch dishes. As I scrubbed away in the kitchen I eagerly waited for the opening bars of "Stars and Stripes Forever." But march after unfamiliar march played, and played, and played. And then it was over.

No "Stars and Stripes Forever." No "Semper Fidelis." No "Washington Post."

Only then did I scan the track list on the CD case and go back to the web page to actually read the reviews, where I then found such caveats as:

* "...many of Sousa's unjustly neglected works"

* "If you're expecting to hear the 'Stars and Stripes Forever,' 'The Washington Post,' or 'The Thunderer,' you'll be sadly disappointed. They're not on this disc."

Oops!

But what about that guy who had effusively written, "If there is ONE Sousa cd to get, this is definitely a top candidate"?

Well, if I had only bothered to read on to his very next two sentences I would have read: "Fennell chose Sousa's best, but not necessarily his most famous. Conspicuously (which may be a relief to some) missing are Stars and Stripes, Washington Post, and Semper Fidelis."

Doh!

So, now I've got my Sousa marches CD for the 4th of July. Which I will dutifully play. And perhaps even come to appreciate.

But, as one prescient reviewer wrote, right now I'm feeling "sadly disappointed."

"Look before you leap!" Or click!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lesser known marches, not greatest hits
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2018
The three most popular Sousa marches on this cd are The Picador, The Invisible Eagle and The Liberty Bell. The following hits are not on this CD: Stars and Strips Forever, El Capitan, Hands Across the Sea, High School Cadets, King Cotton, Manhattan Beach, Semper Fidelis, Thunderer and Washington Post.

The reasons for buying this cd are (1) the Americana interpretation by Frederick Fennell and the Eastman Wind Ensemble, (2) faithfulness to the original score (3) composition of the band (close to what Sousa had and not a symphony), and (4) quality of the Mercury Living Presence recording. As a boy Fennell heard Sousa play and as a conductor Fennell took seriously Sousa's statement that a march "must be as free from padding as a marble statue." I take this to mean an all out energetic performance for marching. This is Sousa marching music beyond criticism because it is as Sousa would have wanted.

3.0 out of 5 stars Big Bang Bonger's Day Off!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2020
Verified Purchase
I can only partially agree with the many other contributors positive comments re the sound quality; yes the sound is clear and snares are crisp but where is that bass drum? The recording engineers were obviously aware and conscious of mistracking styli and overloaded cartridge output in that wonderful recording era but shouldn't have resorted to sending the bass drummer and his kit home altogether. The Big Bang Bonger was needed for these recordings and the result is hopelessly unreal without that resounding "thud" when the score calls for it.
