Wild Blue Yonder

Date Added: Tuesday 14 February, 2012
Ticheli is my favorite here but enjoyed Dreamers buy Barnes. I did not know that work or his other one, Wild Blue Yonder. Not a fan of Camphouse yet. Gene Duman..

Mystic Chords of Memory
by Gene
Date Added: Tuesday 14 February, 2012
A great band and an outstanding recording. Especially liked the Franck and Jager. A complaint..... You usually do not list the composers name when you advertise a recording. Many people wrote Canzones, Ballads, Marches, and many more - And they used the same names for the compositions - Tell me which one I'm looking at. If I'm not sure I will not buy it. Gene Duman..

Heritage of John Philip Sousa Collection
by Gerald
Date Added: Wednesday 11 January, 2012
I corresponded with Bob Hoe for 15 years. I was a member of a group he referred to as his Heritage of the March Clan. I was a young band director in high school/ middle school and Bob sent these records to me for free. All I had to do was acknowledge by letter that I received them ( no email back then! ) and offer brief comments on the performances on the records. Every other month or so, a package would come in the mail with 8 to 12 stereo LP records in it. I got 3 of the Sousa Series records and lots of records of the various service bands playing marches and orchestral transcriptions and many other concert band pieces. Bob always told me that he would "catch me up" as soon as he got around to making more of the Sousa records that I had missed out on. Unfortunately, Bob passed away before he could make good on his promise and I thought I'd never be able to get the rest of the Sousa Series. Bob had a burning passion for marches, bands, and all kinds of great band music. He was fond of all our great service bands, the President's Own United States Marine Band in particular. Bob was also passionate about educating the new generation of school band directors and preserving the great music of the past. Through Bob, I heard performances by great bands and soloists from 40 to 60 years ago that are still unsurpassed today. I enjoyed talking on the phone to him many times and I wish I had the chance to thank him in person. Bob was also a pretty decent euphonium player and a real character. He had a sharp wit, a great sense of humor, an opinion on everything and an encyclopedic knowledge of bands and marches. He owned bowling alleys in Poughkeepsie, New York. Thank you Altissimo Recordings! for such a fine job reissuing the Sousa Series and I hope you'll continue to release more of Bob Hoe's records so another generation can get educated like I did...

Day is Done: Music Commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Taps
by Peter
Date Added: Tuesday 06 December, 2011
This is the best collection of Taps that I have ever heard in one CD. The pamphlet explaining the history of each era TAPS was excellent. I have played this for other veterans and they have asked me to get this CD for them. All I can say is that it is AWSOM..
