The CD was fantastic. I have wished for it a long time and finally was able to find it. A wonderful listening experience and a masterpiece of composition. Recommend Burns Civil War to anyone with appreciation of Americana at its best. Thanks to Amazon for making it available. November 11, 2008

What wonderful music. It will take you back to that wonderful series on the Civil War. The Ashokan Farewell has got to be one of the most beautiful and touching songs I have ever heard. When I hear this exquisite music in the background while the letter of Sullivan Ballou is read...it just tears me apart. July 30, 2008

Ashokan Farewell has been a hit in the UK, especially on the radio station I listen to during the day. I remembered the tune, and with the help of your search system found and purchased the music. I do remember the TV production, which in itself was superb, and the very atmospheric music helped it to be, in my view, a classic. Next will be the DVD.
cheers,
TERRY. July 25, 2008

this soundtrack cd is really good,it evokes a lot of feeling too.Now,here's a surprise the piece of music titled ''Marching through Georgia'' is actually used in scotland uk as a secterian song/music,just shows how the one piece of music can be used for different things.The civil war tv series was excellent too.

rating: 2 QuoteShenandoah and Ashokan Farewell Quote
It is extremely difficult to find a instrumental version of Shenandoah; to which this CD has. I personally hope that a Civil War Brass Band will play this as an instrumental. A Civil War folk song; it has more meaning to those who are near the Shenandoah mountains and river. In the Native American Indian's translation--it means "Daughter of Stars."

The Ashokan Farewell instrumental, as is played; there is no better to be found. I am of the belief, that Ken Burn's "Civil War" will be forever linked to this music.

The rest of the music, in my opinion--is better played by the Americus Brass Band and Camp Chase Fife and Drum Corps. By using the authentic type drums; it makes a huge difference on the entire 'recipe' of the music piece/selection.

If you're not fussy and not hungry for period instruments only--then it would be a higher ranking. April 18, 2008
