Review by Chris Curtin

The album William Tell by Band of HM Life Guards is a tribute to the famous Swiss folk hero and his legendary story. The album is a collection of traditional Swiss folk songs and classical music pieces, all of which are played with precision and passion by the band. The album features a variety of instruments, including brass, woodwind, and percussion.

The album begins with the overture to Rossini's famous opera William Tell, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's rendition of this classic piece is impressive, with each instrument contributing to the grandeur and drama of the piece.

Other highlights of the album include "The William Tell Galop," a fast-paced dance piece that showcases the band's skill and energy, and "The Swiss Guards March," a rousing military march that fills the listener with a sense of patriotism and pride.

The band's musicianship is evident throughout the album, with each member playing their part with precision and passion. The arrangements are well-crafted, with each instrument given its moment to shine.

About Band Of HM Life Guards

The Life Guards (LG) are the senior regiment of the British Army and part of the Household Cavalry, along with the Blues and Royals. Its band was formed in about 1795. On ceremonial occasions the Life Guards wear a scarlet tunic, a metal cuirass and a matching helmet with a white plume worn bound on the top into an 'onion' shape; the exceptions to this are the regiment's trumpeters, who wear a red plume, and farriers, who wear blue tunics and have a black plume. In addition, the Life Guards wear their chin strap below their lower lip, as opposed to the Blues and Royals who wear it under their chin.
