CD Reviews
Move Over Sousa
Bluegrass | Northeast Tennessee | 01/22/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Very good CD. The sound is clear and crisp. The selection of marches is excellent. As a whole, I think most of the marches are as good as, if not better, than many Sousa marches. My favorite on the CD is Bayerischer Defiliermarsch and my least favorite is, ironically, Unter Dem Doppeladler. I am a graduate of a military college and have heard and marched to my share of marches and rank many on this CD near the top of my list of favorites."
Somewhat Emasculated

"I guess after all that horrid Nazi business, it has become majorly politically incorrect to do German military music that sounds like, well, German Military Music - in other words the kind of stuff that would inspire young Rhinelanders to romp & stomp their way to Paris.
Anyway that is the impression I got after listening to this CD. It just lacks the "kick" that I look for in military music (which I mostly listen to kick myself in the butt when I workout)
Instead it sounded to me more like middle aged men playing in an ompa band outside a hoffbraugh.
Nevertheless as ompa music it is well done and if you are looking for that this CD is a good choice. But I rate it a 3 since it is advertised as Military Music.
A better recording, if you can find it, is "Prussia's Glory" - World War 1 era German military music with all the punch."
Thoroughly Enjoyable

"This album features quality, professional, precise music from all of the different bands/musicians. (But would you expect anything less from German musicians?) My favorite march of all time is Alte Kameraden (with no apologies to Sousa). The Euphonium countermelody musician rivals that of Simone Mantia.Alot of you will recognize "Einzug der Gladiatoren" ("Enter the Gladiator"), and "Unter Dem Doppeladler" ("Under Double Eagle"), although I disagree with the maestro's use of ritard, fermata, and ralliando, in "Under Double Eagle"."
Ausgezeichnet!

"General George S. Patton would probably kill me if he were still alive, but Julius Fucik, not John Philip Sousa was truly the "March King." Fucik, who incidentally was Czech, is featured on this CD, along with J.F. Wagner and Carl Teike, which consists of 15 selections.Although many of these are not well known in the United States, "Einzug Der Gladiatoren," which will always be associated with the circus, and "Salve Imperator" are two of the finest of the genre. The bands are uniformly excellent, although I take exception to the tempo changes in "Unter Dem Doppeladler," which to the uninitiated, could easily be mistaken for a Sousa march"
Lacks any power or kick

"Forget this record. I expect my German military marches to be played with vim, vigor and possible violence, this band is way too tame. It sounds like an arthritic Perry Como wannabe is directing the group. It's not a military orchestra, this is some dingy oom-pa-pa band assembled in the basement of the Augustinerkeller (if you know Munich, you'll get that joke). The marches are played much too slowly and there isn't the necessary urgency or dynamism here. There is also no vocalizing and the song selection is dismal. Where is "Westerwald?" Where is "Wenn Wir Marschieren??" A crushing disappointment in song selection, style and presentation!"
