Massed Bands of HM Royal Marines

Conductor: Various Directors of Music
 

Issued in June 2004 this is the first double CD produced by the Royal Marines Band’s recording studio. The two CDs feature special arrangements by Warrant Officer Michael McDermott, the Staff Arranger of the Royal Marines. The arrangements are those performed by the annual concert by the massed bands at the Mountbatten Festival of Music in the Royal Albert Hall, London spanning many years.

They are fantastic CDs and excellent value because of the length of the recordings.

Playing time: CD1 = 76 minutes 05 seconds
