Classic Belgium March Collection

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is part of a multi-CD project that was released some years ago to chronicle the history of Belgium martial music from the 1830s to the present. Most of the selections are regimental works belonging to a time when Belgium maintained a much larger army than today! The band is surpurb and produces a solid, formidable sound. These Belgium marches have a certain French quality about them, especially in the instrumentation which sports large amounts of bugles, trumpets and drums. The liner notes are informative, but a bit badly translated at times. A worthy addition to any serious march collectors library. Collect the other CDs in the series which are marches for the Belgium Artillery and Infantry."
Belgian Military Marches Vol 1

"Anyone who is a march enthusiast should quickly lap this one up! Every march on this disc is a winner - thundering, exciting and unforgettable performances. The marches by Prevost are especially memorable and deserve to be heard often. The band has power, precision, and obviously enjoys sinking their teeth into these unusual marches. Get the wife and kids and cats out! You will need to straighten all the pictures in the house after this one! Five stars!!!"
