(Listen below to the watery underpinnings in the second half of “Manhattan Beach” as played by the U.S. Marine Band.) https://pacificsymphony.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/49-manhattan-beach.mp3 My longtime favorite Sousa recording, however, was made in the 1970s for the Nonesuch label by an unlikely ensemble: The Czechoslovak Brass Orchestra led by Rudolf Urbanec. The marches are performed here with such exuberance and feeling (and also a keen ear for the whirring rhythmic motors that make these marches go) that one can’t help thinking that these musicians, trapped behind the Iron Curtain, were dreaming of freedom all the while.

Here’s a good march by Sousa other than “Stars and Stripes Forever” that you might not hear today — “King Cotton,” written in 1895 for the Cotton States and International Exposition. It is performed by none other than the Czechoslovak Brass Orchestra, Rudolf Urbanec, conductor.
