Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Altissimo! Ripe Off.......2006-01-20

The above reviewer basically has the story right in terms of what Altissimo! does with its recordings. They also use the same old tracks over and over again on different CDs. How many times can you repeat the same dribble again and again! This company has been trying to cash in on the post 9/11 patriotic feelings in this country by offering an inferior product. Again, I repeat the above. Shame on Altissimo!!

1 out of 5 stars Shame on Altissimo!!.......2003-03-28

A very poor compilation CD consisting of legally pirated recordings that are normally offered to the public for free directly from the military. Military performers here in Washington resent what Altissimo does in this and other recordings. More importantly, the recordings were never meant to be placed on commercial CDs and thus the recording quality is terribly inconsistent. Many other patriotic CD's are much much better. For great patriotic music try the compilation of Sousa marches by the Eastman Wind Ensemble on Mercury or the Robert Shaw Chorale on RCA, the Morman Tabernacle on SONY or the Washington Men's Camerata on Gothic and SONY. Whatever you do - don't waste your money on this recording.
