i am by no means a classical music fan (more like 60s)but there is certain music that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and this music does this and when you consider how long ago it was written is amazing,i guess its what being british is all about.

As a Yank and a lover of all things brit, I found this cd overwhelming. Play it at full blast and all the neighbors will join you in singing both the British version and American version of these wonderful, familiar, and sacred songs. What an experience!!!

If you love Great British music you can't really go wrong with this fantastic CD. Classical music lover or not, you'll be sure to love this CD... Worth every penny in my opinion!

I just loved this C.D. and have given it a bashing over the New Year. Couldn't fault this in any way

This is an excellent recording by the BBC Concert Orchestra of British Classical music standards included in the annual Last Night of the Proms concert. It should be noted that this recording was done separately from the actual event so there is no crowd or audience noise in the background which could be good or bad depending on your preference.
Some of the better known pieces are Pomp and Circumstance, Rule Britannia, Greensleeves, Land of Hope and Glory and the British National Anthem but my favorite track is Jerusalem, a choral hymn that I first heard a rendition of on the Chariots of Fire soundtrack back in 1981. It is no doubt one of the most stirring patriotic songs ever written.

Like others have said this CD includes all the tunes one would expect to hear at the Last night of the Proms but for me it didn't seem the same without the audience, it was more like a dress rehearsal for the real night. Furthermore, it was not recorded at the Royal Albert Hall but at All Saints, Tooting so, for me, it didn't have that Royal Albert Hall accoustical sound. Having said that, if that doesn't bother you then go ahead and buy it.
