A most unusual collection - mainly of marches - reflecting the development of German military music from 1815 to 1915. This excellent recording contains lesser known marches as well as favourites, a number certainly not recorded in the current digital age, if at all. The single CD comes in a double jewel case as the package contains s a massive 48 page booklet which includes comprehensive and fascinating notes about the music and its historical context by the military music historian Tony Dean.

'All in all, this must rank as one of the finest military band recordings ever'
