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.
Including such famous pieces as The Stars and
Stripes Forever (National March of the USA),
Semper Fidelis (Official March of the US Marine
Corps), and The Liberty Bell (theme tune for Monty
Python's Flying Circus), this album is a celebration
in its own right, enhanced by brightly coloured
sound captured in high-quality surround-sound.
