 Sousa Via the Royal Artillery! Nov 27, 2004
By Roger Kennedy
This is promising new series. Keith Brian, known for his spirited versions of Sousa with his New Sousa Band leads here the reknowned band of the Royal Regiment of Artillery from the UK. As the premiere band of the British army, tracing its history back to 1747, this full-sized 49 member band can give Sousa the full power he needs! While many marches are well known, this series promises to explore the lesser known as well. Included are many obscure marches, as well as novelty pieces, hymns, dances, etc. All go to show what a truly versatile composer Sousa was. He deserves to be better known. His music spanned many aspects, and it is quite possible to program a complete band concert on his varied works alone. Naxos deserves much credit for launching this inspired project to record has many varied works. The sound quality for such a budget price is truly great. Hats off to Keith Brian, the band of the Royal Artillery, and Naxos!

A lot of great concert band music for a little money! Oct 22, 2001
By Kathleen
This is a great recording if you enjoy concert band music and/or Sousa! I especially enjoyed hearing the lesser-known marches and non-marches - Sousa wrote suites, operettas, and more, and they are all very enjoyable. All of these are well-performed and recorded and will have you tapping your foot. A wonderful and inexpensive series (see Volume 2, too!).

 Sousa festival Apr 07, 2009
By Donald Shirer
Evidently the start of a wrap up of Sousa's band works. Works for me! Playing is top notch. I differed with a few of the tempi, but overall the director made good choices. I look forward to the rest of the series.
