¡Above And Beyond
¡Gerard Schwarz (con), The President's Own United States Marine Band
Description
[Machine Translation] Founded in 1798, the band played at the White House in 1801, and in March of that year, the band performed at the inauguration of President Thomas Jefferson, earning the title of "President's Own. In 1880, Sousa took over as the band's captain, and the band underwent a major reformation in repertoire and technique, while also performing many of Sousa's compositions. NAXOS has several unique recordings of this band, and this Schwarz-conducted album is nothing short of superb. The brass band enthusiasts will enjoy "Lincolnshire Bouquet," familiar pieces by Copland and Barber, and Schwarz's own composition "Above and Beyond," all of which are superb and enjoyable.
