Kenneth J. Alford, Edwin Eugene Bagley, ...

RCA, 1990

Great Marching Music
Even though I am a Yankee I still love "Dixie." This is great music for pre-school children and those just entering school. I think it helps build character. I like this album.

Not Sousa: Great Marches Not by John Philip Sousa, Vol. 1

Kenneth J. Alford, Edwin Eugene Bagley, ...

Altissimo Records, 2006

Nothing New Here!
Despite putting together a CD of non-Sousa marches (something very hard for Altissimo! to do) there is really nothing new and interesting here. Most of the marches taken from the Marine band Library are very popular works that are almost as well known in the USA as ...

40 Famous Marches

Kenneth J. Alford, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, ...

Decca, 2000

Bold and brassy mixes well with the rest
I am impressed most by the variety in 40 Famous Marches on 2 CDs, a Double Decca release. The performers include Philharmonic Orchestras, a Brass Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, organ, Symphony, and for nine selections, the Wiener Philharmoniker. I am not sure if the ...

Screamers (Circus Marches)

Kenneth J. Alford, Thomas S. Allen, ...

Philips, 1991

Sounds even better than when I first heard it
When I first heard the last eleven marches on this recording; I heard them on tape, and I really enjoyed them, this was back in 1988 when I was in the seventh grade. When I moved in the winter of 1988, I lost that tape. I was very sad when I did, and it was not until ...

Strike Up the Band!

Kenneth J. Alford, Franz von Blon, ...

Naxos, 2006

Familiar (and Some Unfamiliar) Marches Expertly Played
I've been listening to a lot of wind ensemble music lately, much of it gnarly modern stuff, so when this release came into view I leaped on it because I knew it would be filled with familiar stuff that is sort of like martial comfort food (is that an oxymoron?) and I ...

Great Marches - Leonard Bernstein / New York Philharmonic

Kenneth J. Alford, Thomas Arne, ...

Sony, 1997

great
I really enjoy the CD. I heard exerpts from this CD on the radio and that is why I ordered it.

Fennell Conducts Hands Across the Sea

Kenneth J. Alford, Eric Coates, ...

Mercury, 1994

Vintage march collection for connoisseurs
It seems like the heyday for recorded march collections was the early stereo era. The classic Mercury recordings by Fennell and the Eastman Wind Ensemble dating from that time no doubt contribute to that impression. In this collection, they demonstrate the seriousness ...

Kenneth J. Alford, Edwin Eugene Bagley, ...

RCA, 1991

Put this music in and you can have your kids marching around the house in no time...what a blast!

All-Time Greatest Hits Live on Stage

Ferrante & Teicher

Varese Sarabande, 2005

At Last...A LIVE Performance!!!!!!
I have been waiting years to hear the voices of Ferrante & Teicher!! I do realize this CD is comprised of various performances from their tours....great selections....and just hearing the monologues is worth the price. The symphonic performances presented...considering ...

Kenneth J. Alford, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Wow....better than I first thought..
I came across this CD (from a "Relaxation" series) by accident and thought, oh no, just another compilation of classical music tidbits---and taken from TV commercials/shows yet---oh, spare me! But how wrong I was. Despite its boast of being, "The Most Popular ...

The Music of Kenneth Alford

Kenneth J. Alford, Band of H.M. Royal Marines

Chandos, 1992

Don't miss a beat of this Great Band
Probably one of the finest military Bands in the world! Don't expect an American, German, or French band when you order this one. This is a classic British military band. Enjoy!
