Description:
Composed by Hermann Ludwig Blankenburg, A l'Attaque - Concert March op. 62 is one of the most brilliant and rousing marches in the German repertoire of the early 20th century. Known as the "king of the military march", Blankenburg demonstrates his full melodic expressiveness here as well as his pronounced feel for effective timbres. The energetic character, concise rhythms and heroic themes are already convincing in the first few bars. Power and elegance are combined with lyrical passages which underline the diversity and richness of the composition. A l'Attaque is still very popular in many European countries today and has lost none of its musical freshness and impact. This new arrangement by Bertrand Moren preserves the radiant spirit of the original while giving the work a modern and balanced sound. As a genuine concert piece, this march provides a festive and glamorous musical climax that delights audiences and musicians alike.
