About this product
The wonderful Naxos American Classics series is full of surprises. After firmly associating Victor Herbert with memorable melodies based on banal lyrics, we now get Columbus Suite/ Irish Rhapsody played by the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra (Bratislava) under Keith Brion. The opening InchAuditorium Festival MarchInch is pure Sousa out of Germany where Herbert learned his craft, while the InchIrish RhapsodyInch recalls the more familiar tunes from his land of birth. The third cut gives us a quarter hour of selections from his opera InchNatoma,Inch and very impressive they are. But the real surprise comes on cuts 4-7 where we hear, probably for the first time, his InchColumbus SuiteInch in four movements Dawn and Sunrise at Alhambra, At La Rabida, Murmurs of the Sea, and Triumph-the Vision of Columbus.

Just for fun, try playing this CD as a quiz for a musically knowledgeable friend. You can give one hint the composer is well known. As the suite from the operetta The Bride Elect proceeds, you'll probably get guesses like Johann Strauss (during the opening waltz), Offenbach, or Victor Herbert. But when the concluding number, a march, arrives, the composer will be obvious. Sousa's operettas, if one judges from these orchestral selections, aren't highly original or even outstandingly tuneful. But they are good light entertainment, especially as played by this crack group of Slovak players under the direction of Sousa expert Keith Brion. Naxos's recording is as crisp and clear as the orchestral playing.
