The American version I love the balance of instruments and how you can hear every single part cut through.

Id say the PH version was the best, it was slow yes, but it gives me those chills listening to it. It basically gives me time to appreciate it.

Germany's was undoubtedly the best. Not surprised though. Germany is the country of legendary Classical orchestral composers like Bach and Beethoven, who have given major contributions in paving the way how orchestras are arranged and played today. Germany is the best because it simply follows its classical musical traditions seriously even today. While Saudi Arabia and Syria probably sound less good because orchestral music isn't their indigenous musical culture. If instead of these western instruments like drums and trumpets, they were allowed to play their own indigenous oriental instruments, they would've probably done a better job.

I am a musician. Have played in ensembles for 20 years (not military). I would say the States had the most musicality in their rendition.

I agree with you! I’m a little surprised at the love shown to the Germans here. Their “rockets’ red glare” bit was lovely, no doubt; but the beginning was a mess, and I found some parts too slow. The US band was so crisp, start to finish, and while it was a bit fast, they understood that they were not in a concert hall. I bet the presidents who are standing around listening to these appreciate brevity. It was respectful, but understood it was not the main attraction. The German one was a little too rich, in my opinion, for a situation that should be more business-like. I guess it goes to show that if you finish strong no one will remember how you started!

A note on the pictures, when the German music corps plays the US anthem. You can see that the then Federal President Joachim Gauck can hardly hold back his emotion. It is important to know that Joachim Gauck was a pastor in the former GDR before reunification 1991 and belonged to the civil rights movement. He was not a "professional politician," and he certainly never dreamed that he would one day receive the U.S. president in Berlin as the highest representative of the Federal Republic of Germany (!). Incidentally, he deliberately refused to meet with Russian President Putin during his time in office. He was criticized for that at the time. President Gauck probably knew exactly why. And he was right!

Of course the recording quality matters, but the Germans hands down the best. The Brits, we'll give them a second place finish just for providing original "inspiration."

How is China near the top? It didn't sound like they were playing the right song.

Have to give props to Germany for their attention to dynamics and overall musical composition.

it's more about how much effort you put in recording it.

The German band nailed it!!! Perfection!

They all played it well. The big difference is in the recording quality. Also, some of the versions were cut short. All of the "pop stars" who bend our anthem beyond recognition could take a lesson from this video. If bands from countries other than the U.S.A can play it correctly and with respect why can't they?

As an American the best one out of all of these is the Germans, it sounded perfect

The French clip needed a better sound recording. I felt there was that anthemic spirit coming through those notes and the acoustics in that courtyard would have been great to hear live.

They all did great!

Germany: sounded great; 10/10 China: bonus points for the salute Russia: couldn't hear it well enough, unfortunately UK: old-timey cannons are rad; best uniforms France: echo did them no favors India: poor acoustics; sounded flat Philippines: too slow, but at least there was a salute Syria: very thoughtful to protect Bill from the sun Saudi Arabia: why did I buy a dedicated sound card, again?

A music lesson from Germany !!!! I'm french

Honestly, being home to some of the most prestigious of composers (with a few sour apples, truth be told,) it makes sense they would perform it the best

Incredible, Germany's effort in music is incredible as always.

Here’s my two cents worth, not that anyone is even going to see this, let alone care haha My background - I’m a music major from Australia studying in the US. I’ve been playing in wind bands for a while and like to think I’m pretty decent at it. I’m not going to try to rate them because there are too many other things that vary between the performances - sound quality / mic placement, arrangement, background noise, the list goes on. America - I quite like the faster tempo and the balance in the ensemble. A bit less keen on the dynamics in measures 17-24 - I prefer it when that section starts quieter so they can crescendo into the last bit. Germany - exactly what I expected from Germany. Pin point precision, good balance, stone cold. I feel like it was let down by the arrangement though. Some of the chord voicing just felt a bit over egged, and the parallel thirds at 2:01 ish don’t sound right at all. Also why do they play around with the tempo so much? China - good college band level. Nice to hear prominent saxes but could have used more melody. This could have been a mic placement thing to be fair. Not impressed by the percussionist playing about a quarter of a beat behind. Russia - good high school band level. Scruffy and not in tune but nice tempo. UK - my personal favourite. Almost flawless timing and tuning, and I got chills from their crescendo into “oh say does that”. The low brass were clearly enjoying it, but not to the extent that it drowned out the melody. Woefully let down by recording quality but I can tell they played well. France - full of spirit. I wish we got more of it. Shame about intonation India - the start made me nervous but they warmed up into it. Another potentially decent performance ruined by dodgy audio. Philippines - US anthem at UK anthem tempo. Not terrible apart from that. I liked their arrangement - it’s slightly different in the middle. Syria - I’m at a bit of a loss here. I get that Syria might not have much of a tradition of this kind of military band and diplomatic considerations are never far away, but… wow. First step would be to sort out balance - that would help a whole lot. Saudi Arabia - very wayward tuning and crying out for some proper bass. There’s only so much you can do with a tenor sax in that register. Rhythm surprisingly on point.
