While globalisation 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’s 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 favourites. And you can check out the flags in the process with our informative supporting booklets! Welcome to the Naxos boxed set of The Complete National Anthems of the World.

Over 400 anthems – the most complete and updated collection of National Anthems available. The 2019 Edition sees the inclusion of the new anthems for Mauritania, Montserrat, Seborga and Somalia.

Recorded with a full symphony orchestra, arranged and conducted by Peter Breiner, one of the world’s most recorded musicians, and digitally recorded in brilliant sound.
