disappointing - By: DC Nicoll, 28 Aug 2008
I have a number of classic fm albums, & this one was the first real disappointment. Less of an 'anthem fest', more of an 'oh yes, that is not a bad tune'.

For me it is the audio equivalent of a film I saw many years ago callled 'good guys wear black'. The advertising poster looked great - 6 scenes of excitinbg action portrayed. When I watched the film, they were the only scenes of any interest in the entire movie.

The adverts for this album were a bit like that for me.
A bit of a let down, but still good - By: McStick, 31 Jul 2008
Most of the material on this compiliation has already been included on other Classic FM CD's from the last 2 years. Also when you think of anthems, I think of uplifting, upbeat high tempo music, however this is none of these. However there is the odd track which comes pretty close to the mark.

Having said this, the compilation is not unlistenable, although prehaps a bit more thought could have been put into the song choices. In future I feel Classic FM is in danger of doing another "Zadok the Priest" with some of these songs by thrashing them to death in placing them in every single album. Prehaps some different, rarely heard classical music is required?
