Summary: VAS-very good memories 2008-07-24
Comment: I recently started to download VAS from Internet Archives.org(sorry Amazon, it is in public domain now)and I got a hankering for the music from this show of 50 plus years ago. I got the first CD and it give me shivers. The music to say the less is breathtaking. From the first selection The Song of the High Seas to The Magnetic North; it makes one proud to be an American and proud to have serve in its' armed forces(I was in the USAF for the two year stint). Well done and very affordable. Thanks Amazon.

Summary: Still wonderful after all these years... 2007-12-20
Comment: The black-and-white television series "Victory at Sea" was one of the first "can't miss it" shows in our house after my father purchased our first set in the early '50's. Ten years later, we were still listening to the LP's of Rodgers' superb soundtrack. They wore out by 1970 or so, and I never replaced them until getting this version a couple of weeks ago. When I was ten, I thought this was "classical music." When I was 20, I thought it was one of the finest film scores ever made. Now, at 63, I know that it is simply one of the best compositions and one of the best recordings of the '50's. Created to complement official films of U.S. Navy battles during World War II, the score has a surprising large amount of non-military sounding moments in it. That reflects the real rhythms of war...weeks of tedium, days of danger, hours of tension, moments of relief, triumph and despair. I now also own the original series on DVD which is available for a very modest price, and is well-worth viewing, despite its dated elements. Speaking strictly about music listening pleasure, however, this disc is a winner. There was a lot more to the genius of Richard Rodgers than the scores for "Oklahoma!" and "The Sound of Music" as good as they are.
