Summary: "maybe I misread...."
...but this CD did not contain the one march i was looking for. Why was it listed under my search for "Pomp and Circumstance" if it did not have that march on the CD?
Other than that, it was in good condition and delivered quickly.

Summary: "Ok for the most part"
I love Fiedler and the Boston Pops. Used to watch him on PBS all the time. So I thought I was prepared for a symphonic version of the marches. For the most part they are pretty good. However, I was completely disappointed with the Colonel Bogey march. They did a take off of the Bridge on the River Kwai theme instead of doing a march. I hardly recognized the music. I think that the Colonel Bogey march was the number one march of any major Marine base that I was stationed at, and that many a Marine has marched to it. When a marching band is playing it, and you're marching to it - it has a life and quality all it's own. On this CD it came through as a juvenile troupe's garage session.

The music in this CD fades in and out where you can not hear it. I feel it is in the recording.

Summary: "Album matches content hype"
I intially bought this album for a few selections I had heard from Classical 102.1 (KDFC-FM). I was pleasantly surprised that the entire album has a very satisfying collection of the greatest marches. I am very pleased with this album, and would recommend it for anyone who likes a broad range of famous marches.
