Summary: Ok for the most part
Comment: I love Fiedler and the Boston Pops. Used to watch him on PBS all the time. So I thought I was prepared for a symphonic version of the marches. For the most part they are pretty good. However, I was completely disappointed with the Colonel Bogey march. They did a take off of the Bridge on the River Kwai theme instead of doing a march. I hardly recognized the music. I think that the Colonel Bogey march was the number one march of any major Marine base that I was stationed at, and that many a Marine has marched to it. When a marching band is playing it, and you're marching to it - it has a life and quality all it's own. On this CD it came through as a juvenile troupe's garage session.

Summary: Album matches content hype
Comment: I intially bought this album for a few selections I had heard from Classical 102.1 (KDFC-FM). I was pleasantly surprised that the entire album has a very satisfying collection of the greatest marches. I am very pleased with this album, and would recommend it for anyone who likes a broad range of famous marches.

Summary: Fun
Comment: This CD would make a great gift for anyone who enjoys marches. Some of the marches are popular, others are not. All are well-performed and can be enjoyed - LOUDLY!
