While globalization advances, all countries staunchly retain two unique features: their distinctive national flag and a bonding national anthem. The anthems reflect an enormous indigenous diversity, but relatively few are generally known by citizens of other nations, making any comprehensive compendium a source of endless interest and discovery. We invite you to take a musical tour of Naxos' definitive set of national and regional anthems, from Algeria to Kuwait. Lapland to Zanzibar, and all stops in between. You'll be delighted by the gems that are waiting to be discovered and compiled into either personal or family favorites. And you can check out the flags in the process with our informative supporting booklets! Welcome to the Naxos set of The Complete National Anthems of the World.
Peter Breiner's ambitious project to arrange and record all of the world's national anthems continues, and with The Complete National Anthems of the World - 2019 Edition we are presented with ten discs of symphonic patriotism. Additions to the impressive set include anthems from Montserrat, Mauritania, Seborga and Somalia, performed by the Razumovsky Symphony Orchestra. If you've not come across prior editions, it's thoroughly researched; current, former and alternative anthems are all present and correct. --BBC Music Magazine
