CD Reviews

Marches

Mozer | California | 09/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I give this product top rating because of the quality of the recording and the price of the package (very reasonable).

Of course, my favorite March in the world is not included in this package (nor in many others that I searched thru) - that being "La Marcha de Zacatecas," which is sometimes referred to as Mexicos 2nd national anthem.

Well, marching music is the first music I remember, and the fist music I loved. Because believe it or not, I remember marching music from a memory of when I was two; my dad took me by the hand, and we walked 5 or 6 blocks to the nearest parade point on a 16th of September in Juárez, Mexico; from then on I longed to attend parades, primarily to listen to live brass and drums; and from then on, I got chills from the moment the band began to play "La Marcha de Zacatecas."

Nevertheless, if you're like me and you love marches in general, you'll be very happy with this "Hits" package. El Capitan, the Circus Bee, the Gladiator, Semper Fidelis, and the Stars and Stripes Forever - among the highlights."
