•  Support Great quality, and it was interesting to listen to such an esoteric national anthem. Cmao20 (talk) 22:14, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Nice performance. Vulphere 13:33, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Support - Yes indeed, the U.S. Navy Band is a great ensemble, though of course this music is a cinch for them. I think national anthems are obviously valuable to document, so any national anthem we can get an excellent recording of should probably be featured. And I would also include defunct national anthems like "God Save the Tsar" among obviously important documents. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Maybe it's just me, but I fioind it hard to accept an instrumental version (even a good one like this) of a song with lyrics that are usually performed with it. Especially when it has a shared melody with at least one other song ("Ich hab' mich ergeben) Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment - I agree that a version with singing would be even more valuable, but I think that band and orchestra versions of national anthems are completely legitimate and commonly used. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:48, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

• @Ikan Kekek: I know I'm in the minority on this point. But this seems more Valued Sounds than featured. Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:30, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

• I certainly respect your opinion. I think that at some point, when we have a lot more really high-quality material, much of what we elevate to Featured status may be downgraded to Valued. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:32, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
