Their Stories & Music Review

This is a tremendous value considering the price and the number of tracks that you get.The renditions are not bad, but I have heard better Foster.There is a lot of narration, which makes this a great teaching tool to introduce Foster and Sousa.The narration is a bit more for Foster than Sousa.Some of the Foster songs seem to be cut a little short, giving you what is really more of a sampler than a rich collection of complete Foster songs. The Sousa marches seem to be a little longer and don't have quite as much narration.Even though both men were well known American composers, their type of music was quite different, so it's kind of an odd paring on this album.It's a pleasant listen, but not a "must have" item unless you don't have much Foster or Sousa in your music collection; it's a good starter album.Great for kids who might be interested in learning about these two famous composers.
