Regimental Marches of the British Army, Vol. 2

There is a full hour of rousing military music on this disk of regimental marches of 46 regiments. The Band of the Coldstream Guards does an outstand job of rendering these selections.It is interesting to see what tunes the various regiments pick for their regimental march. The Royal Army Veterinary Corps has "Drink Puppy, Drink" While the Army Catering Corps uses "Sugar and Spice" and "The Roast Beef of Old England".It is great music for hiking or walking.

I bought this CD to use as I work-out on my stationary bike every morning. The beat of the music is not too fast and helps me to keep a good, steady pace. The choice of pieces is excellent and the quality of the recording is very good, too.

It doesn't get better than this. The Coldstream Guards have a great band, the sound, while not quite state of the art is just fine. If you like this music, this compilation along with Vol. 1 is just the ticket.

I enjoy listening to this while I read my books.

When I am in my marches mood, this has become one of my favorite albums. The British military mand sound is refined and the marches well written - a pleasure to listen to.

great military music - just as i remembered it. Have been at a parade where the Cold Stream Guards played and loved it.

I bought this for my 87 year old father to use while on the treadmill. He loves it! He was an officer in the Navy.

This is an excellent disk of marches, but I was a little disappointed when I compared it to my original collection of marches with the same title, recorded on cassette tapes which has the marches of every regiment active at the outbreak of war in 1939, This CD has far fewer marches (even taking into account both volumes.

excellent

Es gibt zwei Möglichkeiten; entweder man mag diese Art von Musik oder nicht. Dies ist zufälligerweise meine Art. Ich kann dieses Album nur empfehlen der Interesse an dieser Musik hat.

Spot on and it has to be loud. You can spot the ex squadie going past because he look as if ready for marching. No body has moaned about it yet but come summer with the windows open ???? If music be the food of gods I now know why the Army marches on their stomachs (Duke of Wellington) Cor I've just impressed myself.

このCDはイギリス陸軍の連隊行進曲を集めた内容です。タイトルに2と入っている事から分かるように、同名タイトルのCDの続編で、1973年と1976年に録音された音源を一枚に纏めた物です。マニアックな一枚ですが、よくぞここまで集めたなぁと感心します。演奏は、コールドストリーム・ガーズ連隊軍楽隊、指揮者はT.シャープ少佐(1〜16)と、R.ライディング大尉(17〜46)です。元々この手の曲は軍楽隊が得意とするだけあり、このCDでも上手です。録音年代がらか、両楽長とも、縦を強調していますが、これが良いスパイスになっているように思えます。また時折聴こえるコルネットの深く柔らかい響きを聴くと、いかにもイギリスのバンドだなあと思います。音質は時期相応と言った所でしょう。
