If you only have in your store one version of Sousa marches, this new Altissimo CD should be it. Nobody on earth plays these marches like the United States Marine Band - "The President's Own." As an added bonus, there is a performance of the Washington Post March from 1890 which features Sousa himself conducting his own band. The recording also captures a wonderful brass band sound. Let's face it, Sousa wrote some of the most infectious tunes of any composer who ever lived.
