La Marseillaise

About this film

The Cylinder Archive [ www.cylinder.de ] release for January 2015: The US Marine Band was highly active making recordings on the 1890's. This version of the French national anthem La Marseillaise was recorded in 1897 for Columbia. This particular vintage appears to often suffer from low volume, possibly caused by a softer wax composition that was used for a short time. Nevertheless, the band comes still out at a very enjoyable level.
