Info for A Sousa Celebration

The exhilarating conductor Kristjan Järvi exploits the style and panache of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in a festive programme of works by the American John Philip Sousa, ‘The March King’. This follows the spectacular recording of works by Julius Fučík, made by Neeme Järvi, Kristjan’s father.

“... Kristjan Järvi is enjoying himself and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra plays with panache and sensitivity ... there are no complaints regarding Brian Pidgeon’s production values or Ralph Couzens’s exemplary sound-quality ...” (Colin Anderson, ClassicalSource.com)

"A rollicking stocking filler, with tunes including The Liberty Bell and The Stars and Stripes Forever." (The Sunday Times)

“... A good selection of Sousa pieces, albeit in arrangements by other hands; lovely playing and sound.” (Dan Morgan, MusicWeb-International)
