    Gott, Kaiser, Vaterland: Military and Patriotic Music of Imperial Germany



    Gott, Kaiser, Vaterland: Military and Patriotic Music of Imperial Germany


    Editorial Reviews

    Defil******233;, Publication of the IMMS-Netherlands, December, 2005


    The technical quality of the CD is wonderfully good... [A]n attractive production of historical value that can certainly be recommended.


    Product Description


    This twenty-five-track CD compilation presents the marches, tattoos, anthems and "Vaterlandslieder" that animated the German Empire of the Hohenzollern Emperors from 1871 to 1918, with period performances by the bands of the elite guard regiments of the Prussian Army, German soldiers’ choruses and leading classical artists of what has been called "the jewel era of German history", the Wilhelmian era. The archival source recordings assembled for this compilation date from 1903 to 1915 and have been painstakingly restored and reengineered to maximize the surprising degree of fidelity already inherent to them without altering their unique period ambience in any way whatsoever. The resulting sound quality is characterized by a richness and fullness that until recently were hardly considered obtainable from such early recordings.


    On this album, listeners will experience the sounds of the actual fifers, drummers, bandsmen and vocalists of the Kaiser’s Germany and rediscover many long-forgotten treasures of German military music, all preserved exactly as recorded in the confident years of peace and prosperity which defined the German Empire’s golden age of a century ago. As an added bonus, "Gott, Kaiser, Vaterland" also includes a lavish, twenty-page illustrated insert booklet that features a detailed discussion of German military music and its role in the history of the German Empire.

      Hello Jeff,

      The CD has received many positive reviews and comments. The interest has actually been extraordinary.

      This is the first of a planned series of 30-35 CD's covering the period 1900 - 1945 that Brandenburg Plans to produce.

      We are fortunate to have access to over 3000 original 78 RPM records which will "mine" for these recordings.

      All the material is remastered from the original discs using sate-of-the-art technology. No expense has been spared to produce the finest Archival recordings CD of their genre on the market today.

      Our goal is to establish a new standard of scholarship for our Brandenburg Label "Sounds of History" (TM) Series.


      Sincerely,

      Diane

        Some additional reviews and a special offer to WAF members

        A Reviewer In The January 2006 Issue Of Mit klingendem Spiel (Official Publication Of The Deutsche Gesellschaft f******252;r Milit******228;rmusik e. V.) Calls This Album...

        "[A] Masterpiece ... the musical portrait of an era...”

        A Reviewer In The March 2006 Issue Of RVS (Official Publication Of The Robert Hoe Branch of the IMMS) Tells His Readers...

        "I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent CD for its music, history, booklet and powerful sound of a long gone era."


        A Classical Musician From Baltimore, USA Is Impressed…

        “I was steeling myself for a scratchy and less-than-perfect recording, but wow! What a treat! I cannot tell you how splendid this recording really is.”

        An Advanced Collector Of German Military Music From California, USA Says...

        "I have collected and compiled German and Prussian military music of all kinds for the longest time. I have listened to thousands of tattoos, marches, concert pieces, and so many others in recordings ranging from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. I have never been so impressed by anything so much as this album. Not only were so many of the pieces presented here as incredibly important in their day as much as they are rare in ours, and not only are some of these featured pieces here performed by some of the most elite bands of Imperial Germany, but the clarity and quality of these pieces is simply outstanding. The surely painstaking effort you took in remastering and restoring these pieces is matched only by that of the wonderfully accurate and informative booklet that you have provided in this album. You have preserved the jewel era of German history with this album in a very remarkable and unique way. This letter is a congratulationon the fantastic work you have done, as well as a thanks for the enjoymentthat this album has brought me.... Thank you."

        A Veteran And Great-Grandfather From Berlin, Germany Had This To Say...

        "Congratulations. You have done a great job. The quality of the sound is amazingly good, by far superior to many remastered recordings I have listened to. This is a CD for the serious collector of historic military music. The number of tunes and songs devoted to the Kaiser...amazed me. While listening, I thought of my grandfather, who was a Lt. General in the Imperial Army and my dad, who was a Cadet in the Prussian Main Cadet School in Berlin around the beginning of the 20th century. Thanks for alerting me to this very special CD."

        A Listener From Japan Says...

        "I was delighted to listen to such nice CD. The incredible sound quality and detailed booklet with many photographs enhance the value of rare recordings. Apparently, this is the best reissue of German military band recordings in acoustic era."

        A Broadcaster From Maine, USA Had These Comments...

        "What your engineers have coaxed out of those old discs is remarkable. This is an imaginative and excellently conceived piece of work. I congratulate you and look forward to further releases. Well done indeed!!!"

        A Customer From England Is Astounded By The Fidelity...

        "Fantastic! How did you manage to get such excellent quality reproduction from recordings of this early period? I am really looking forward to your future releases..."

        An Educator From South Africa Had These Comments...

        "[The] quality [is] outstanding, given the period in which it was recorded. General harmony, acoustics, interpretation, "Ausf******249;hrung" [and] intention of the Komponist "sind ausgezeichnet!"... I am impressed! Keep me posted!"

        An Officer Of The International Military Music Society (USA) Had This To Say...

        "Thank you very much for the excellent CD you sent me this past weekend...when you issue future releases, I will be glad to help publicize them..."

        A US Marine Corps Veteran From Pennsylvania, USA Says...

        "... I've been playing mine all afternoon. Top shelf quality, a superb, varied selection of music, and best of all is the well-planned and informative booklet [with] great choices of sharply-defined pictures, especially the ones of the three Kaisers... Thanks again!!"

        A Longtime Collector Of Military Music From Oregon, USA Was Moved To Say...

        "I heard the CD tonight. It was spiritual music for me. I had not heard these recordings before."
