Canadian Bagpipes American Brass.......2003-11-11

I recently ordered and have just received the above mentioned album.
THANK YOU........
I ordered it just to have a copy of "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes, but after listening to the album, I am completely blown away. It is perhaps the greatest piece of music I now own. Depending on the song, I can get lifted up, mellowed out, or layed back, again THANK YOU, for having this album. I'm a very satisfied customer.

Not a Great CD.......2003-11-07

This CD was originally longer with more titles. It seems the Altissimo! people after they acquired it from the Canadian Scottish cut out several titles and reduced the overall quality of the CD. Because of this and various other technical factors I would not recommend this CD at this inflated price.

Average customer rating: Some excellent tracks.

Some excellent tracks........2000-08-12

With twenty-nine national anthems and John Williams' "Olympic Theme", this album offers a reasonable variety of anthems. (Curiously, there is nothing from the USSR/CIS/Russia!) The recording quality is excellent. The interpretation of the anthems seems to attempt to give an 'appropriate' national flavour to each one. This does not always seem to work. For example, China's "Ch'i Lai!" sounds more like incidental music than a national anthem. There is an interesting rendition of France's "La Marseillaise". While it lacks the 'big' sound usually associated with this anthem, it is distinctive - and is probably a quite good representation of how it might have sounded back in 1792. If, however, you prefer the 'big' sound this version will be a disappointment. Argentina's "Sean eternos los laurales", Canada's "O! Canada" and John Williams' "Olympic Theme" are excellent, but Belgium's "La Brabanconne/Het Belgisch Volkslied" is disappointing and dirge-like. The anthems are performed by a chamber orchestra and consequently have neither the 'big' sound of a full orchestra, nor the martial sound of a military band. The album takes a distinctive approach to the anthems. Whether this approach works is ultimately a matter of personal taste. If you enjoy the more intimate sound of a chamber orchestra, this album will probably be to your taste.

Omits China and India.......2001-10-09

I haven't purchased this set, but I did notice two surprising omissions in the lists above: China and India. I have no idea why a 2-CD set covering 73 countries would choose to omit the two most populous countries of the world (which together comprise one-third of the world's population), but it was one reason I decided to go with another anthem compilation.

Impressive, but not perfect.......1999-01-03

When the acclaimed Austrian wind band Swarovski Musik Wattens attempted a national anthem set, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. What I got was an impressive collection of national anthems performed with reverence and style, with some magnificent arrangements, though a little short on patriotic zeal. Some arrangements were stirring - UAE, Armenia, Egypt (magnificent), Brazil (this one's always terrific, but SMW deserves credit), Bulgaria, Ecuador (a pleasant surprise), Britain (the universal standard), Iraq, Italy (despite a fundamental melodic error), Cameroon, Malta, Mongolia (the best track), Austria (understandably), Peru (highly musically impressive), Romania, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia (powerful), Spain, South Africa (glorious in the repeat), Thailand (majestic), Venezuela, and Zimbabwe. However, some, sadly, came up short - I was not impressed by a stagnant Norway, a plastic Philippines, a plodding Poland, an almost funerary Portugal, and badly arranged renditions of Slovenia, Oman, Syria, and Turkey. Algeria had its moments, but the beginning was painfully dissonant. Greece was torn apart by a strange rhythmic background, while Ireland and Iran were simply too slow and Germany was thoroughly mediocre. However, in the often-inconsistent anthem world, this two-disc set is a beacon among flickering candles for its masterful combination of patriotism, emotion, and musical genius. If you buy one national anthem set this year, make it this one.

Large collection for the price, but not perfect.......2006-07-30

As with these sorts of all-inclusive collections, there are issues to be had with 'National Anthems of the World' as performed by the Swarovski Orchestra. Primary--to me--is that these performances and arrangements come off as being rather sterile and bland, though it's perhaps not surprising since I doubt very much that most of the nationalities of the nations represented here have citizens actually in the Swarovski Orchestra. There's little of the passion that a national band or orchestra would have in playing their own nation's anthem, much like listening to a generic studio band play play a collection of college fight songs (and there ARE CDs of those out for sale as well).

That said, this 2-disc CD set does offer a wide spectrum of national anthems, though it does a far better job of covering European nations more so than any other region. For instance, Central America is poorly represented in this collection as is Africa which, aside from Cameroon, the heart of that continent is conspicuously ill-depicted. But the biggest omission is China; neither the mainland or Taiwanese anthems are included in this set. Considering that The People's Republic of China is the most populous nation on earth, as well as a global political and economic force to be reckoned with, even in 1996 (this CD set dates from 2004, but at least one online database list the contents from the mid-1990s), this is a glaring oversight in my opinion.

The final gripe deals with the included documentation. Each of these anthems DO have titles to them, none of which the producers of this collection ever bother to mention and provide. One has to go to Wikipedia or some other resource to look up the actual name of the anthems included here. This is information that is relatively cheap to research and out of courtesy to the consumer should've been provided for this set, especially since this collection has been around in some form for over a decade already.

For the money, it's a fairly good buy for those who want a collection of national anthems. But the producers could've done a better job of compiling the contents of this collection, and what music there is would've certainly benefitted from a bit more impassioned play.

excellent selection & quality sound.......2005-08-27

Swarovski Orchestra did an excellent job in this compilation. I work in Foreign Service & I use this CD to play US anthem & the host country anthem during events. Unlike other compilations which shorten the pieces, this offers full-length pieces saving me from embarrassment.

Customer Reviews:

All anthems have very poor audio quality. .......2006-08-10

The poor audio quality of the recorded anthems makes this CD unusable for public events and personal listening. The highs are are not clean and the mids and lows are missing. Each anthem is performed so much like the next one that the unique flavors of each does not come through.

mistake over mistake.......2005-12-24

Not only the composer for Romania's anthem is wrong, but so is the tune!!! The CD was released in 1994, but the anthem at that moment was already changed (in 1990).

'National Athems Of The World' (Madacy Records).......2005-12-17

Cannot believe I'm even reviewing this CD,but I do like other patrons seeing what I have to say about music releases. This is by far very different than any other disc I've ever covered.What you get here are twenty-seven national anthems of countries like the UK, Western Germany, USA, Japan, Finland, Turkey,etc. This is not my cup of tea at all. Not even close. The only people I've ever known to enjoy this sort of music are Civil War buffs,history fanatics and citizens over 80 years old.

wrong composer for romania's.......2005-02-24

composer for romania's anthem on this CD's NOT Matei Socor.
Matei Socor composed romania's anthem used during 1953-1977
but certainly not this one (namely the "Three Colours")on this CD. please correct it and prevent confusions

not reliable, but..........2004-01-08

Waltzing Matilda certainly isn't the national anthem of australia, but speaking as an australian it is a much better, much more australian song than advance australia fair and SHOULD be the national anthem. Granted, it's an inexcuseable mistake but personally it makes the purchase a better one
