I bought this CD when I was looking for background music to the 'Duchess of Richmond's Ball' I gave for friends and family to honour the bicentenary of the Battle of Waterloo. As guests arrived, I followed Beethoven's 'Battle Sympathy' (Abdication of Napoleon and Congress of Vienna) and then several pieces from this CD to recreate the feeling of a town full of soldiers. After dancing and then watching the film 'Waterloo' (so guests knew that it was not all about having a party), we played 'Love Farewell' before toasting Wellington and the men (both sides) who fought and died at Waterloo. More music from this CD (and others) was used as background during supper and we finished the evening with 'Over the Hills and Far Away'. As I also played the CD often while spending days cooking an appropriate 1815 menu, I have had real value from the purchase.

As other reviewers said, when the Overture begins to play at the start, it is immediately evocative of evenings spent sitting watching the Sharpe television series. And then comes John Tams singing 'Over the Hills and Far Away'. I would buy this CD for that song alone. But I also loved so many of the others and liked everything else. Another reviewer was disappointed as they seemed to be expecting something more period accurate. This is music from the television series (as stated on the case), so do not purchase it expecting anything else, but it is still very very enjoyable. Very glad I bought it.

The Peninsular War condensed into 52 and a half minutes of musical enjoyment.

I've been re-watching Sharpe, and having long-admired the music of the series, decided it was about time I bought the soundtrack.

I must admit that having read the mixed reviews, it was not without a sense of trepidation that I ordered the CD.

I'm happy to report that it lived up to my expectations, and more. From the opening bars of "The Overture" to the closing track, "Sharpe's Song/ Sharpe's Theme", I was captivated and transported to that time and place many of us have grown to love: Spanish mountains, French skies, loyal partisans, valiant heroes and repugnant villains, Waterloo, Wellington and of course, the Ninety-Fifth Rifles.

Let's clear a few things up.

No, not every piece of music recorded for the Sharpe series is on the CD.

Yes, there is plenty from the series, and the other songs - especially the vocal pieces - give a nice "flavour" of both the period and spirit of the Napoleonic Wars.

No, puritans who don't believe old instruments should be mixed with new will not like this.

Yes, everyone else will.

The music is good, such as it is, sadly the title song is very truncated with most of the verses omitted. Many other songs from the series are missing completely.

It is always a delight when a CD exceeds expectations. IWe have played in numerous times over the past week. Although we were familiar with some of the music, there were a number of other delightful tracks that we enjoyed discovering. John Tams has a perfect voice for the soldier's songs of the Napoleonic era and he is fully supported by the backing musicians, both vocal and instrumental. Top marks also for the singing and playing of Kate Rusby, whilst Dominic Muldowney shows himself to be a masterful composer and arranger.
