Santelmann/U.S. Marine Band Series

Monaural reproductions, from 16" records of live radio broadcasts, of the U.S. Marine Band with William F. Santelmann conducting. Recommendations by Arthur W. Lehman, after extensive study of the holdings in the recorded sound archives of the Library of Congress. Processed by John A. Johnson of Columbia Records. Final selection by Robert Hoe, Jr. Largely transcriptions of classical compositions, requiring great technical proficiency, but several traditional band works are included.
