Thanks for bringing up Victory at Sea. Absolutely one of the best. I think it won an Emmy, back when that meant something!
Wow, so glad that Victory at Sea was mentioned!
Richard Rodgers wrote the score, and I had the album as a kid. Watched every episode of Victory at Sea, and listened to the album for many hours over many years.
Can still remember many of the pieces, especially “Song of the High Seas”, and the one (forget the name) that captured the eerienes of U-boat encounters.
The whole album is truly CLASSICAL!
