200 JAHRE KÖNIGREICH BAYERN: GEBIRGSMUSIKKORPS GARMISCH The Gebirgsmusikkorps Garmisch of the Bundeswehr, conducted by Lieutenant Colonel Christoph Scheibling, presents nineteen rarely heard selections from the last two centuries of Bavarian military history, in an album released to honor the two hundredth anniversary of Bavaria's proclamation as an independent kingdom. This is decidedly NOT yet another typical Bavarian march collection that presents (for the umpteenth time!) such standard fare as the Bayerische Defiliermarsch or the Mussinan Marsch; rather, it is a treasure trove of newly discovered- and never before recorded, historic pieces. Of particular interest are several unknown gems by such composers as Georg Fürst, Carl Carl and Julius Schreck, as well as many others who are completely forgotten today.
