Radetzky-Marsch (EFC 022) - Johann Strauss Sr., arr. Franco Cesarini

Radetzky-Marsch
Johann Strauss Sr., arr. Franco Cesarini
Next to the waltz An der schönen blauen Donau - On the beautiful blue Danube - by Johann Strauss Jr, the Radetzky-Marsch by Johann Strauss Sr. has assumed the role of 'unofficial' Austrian anthem over time. When it was performed for the first time in front of officers, these began to beat their hands and feet to the rhythm of the music, giving life to a tradition often seen in many concert halls when the march is performed live.
The Vienna Philharmonic always performs the march as the final piece in the famous New Year's Concert.
Performed by The Royal Netherlands Army band "Johan Willem Friso"
Franco Cesarini, Conductor
