Reviews

  • Quality not what I expected.

    I previously purchased another track from this album and was disappointed at the distortion. Thunderer was especially disappointing because of the poor quality of recording equipment at the time this recording was made. My reason for the purchase was to give my students exposure to the music since they are learning to play Thunderer. Perhaps understanding the authenticity of the performance will help me, with time, like it better. HOWEVER, it isn't a good way to expose 21st Century music students to Sousa and this great march. I already love Sousa and I hoped to help my students love the music also. With the quality of recordings that young people today are regularly exposed to, this recording is not the best for helping them love Sousa. I should have previewed it before I bought it. Oh well - a dollar is a cheap price to pay to learn this lesson. My other purchases from iTunes have always been much more satisfactory. In all fairness to iTunes, I was given a credit for the first purchase that was distorted.

    If you love JP Sousa as much as I do you are sure to love these tracks. The first album in this four album set is a great one but I almost like this one better because you start to get a little deeper into the great material that JP Sousa wrote. I especially enjoyed the looking upward suites 1 2 and 3 but every track on this album is golden. This album like the other 3 in the series are all performed by the brilliant US Marine Corps Band. A truly amazing set of musicians and the one of the oldest bands in the country. Not that these band members need walkers just that the history of this band is a long and proud one. If you like JP sousa music you should get all four of these albums. If you just want to start off to test it out this is a great one to do that with. If you want all of Sousas greats you should try Sousas Greatest Hits and some that should have been. It's not as comprehensive as this collection but it is a nice collection of Sousa Music. No matter what you decide to get you are sure to love this great music by the brillant JP Sousa.

    This album is awesome! I really like Stars and Stripes Forever. The only song I don't find totally outstanding is The Thunderer March. It's loaded with crackling parts and there are breaks in the recording, but overall, this album rocks!
