[pianoflutepiccilo]

played this at SU Honors band last year and am playing it in youth orchestra this year... go figure I have the same conductor for it too... awesome piece with awesome memories, though!

[Douganator219]

Demo pan...demodemodemo KABOOOO pan demodemodemo PAN

[PointyEaredBastard]

You don't die if once a year people clap during this march. I understand, it's a brilliant march and you'd like to concentrate on that but seriously it's not that big of a deal.

[gregor1991g91]

zajebiste - pozdrowienia z Polski :D

[lacetcavalcanti]

To me radetzky and Sambre et meuse are the best military marches of all.

[Midnightsilenced]

voor alle nederlanders zoek op : turks fruit radetzky mars

[LawlietShadow]

Clapping should be banned during a performance unless requested by the conductor. Lol.

[Snapebby12]

This is a pretty cool song, but playing it is quite boring. Horns have up beats, cellos and bass have quarters, and the violas have eighth notes. Its only fun if youre a flute or 1st violin.

[WLibysno]

@Snapebby12 oboes have a fun part too, basically the same as flute

[robertpeter1991]

This family was great!!!

[ClevverTv24]

wow this is great! Even at the beginning of the song, u can tell it's really good :)

[FlierFrank172]

There is a great rendition of this fine march by Blasorchester Neuhof. The excellent trumpet part at about 1:20 and again at about 1:41 can be clearly heard and it adds a great deal to the march. Find it on YouTube.

[Zsoca111]

i like it :) my favorite

[leosvijacka]

perfect anthem for EU

[winstonchurchill95]

@leosvijacka The only anthem of sorts that the EU could use is a more recent song by an orchestra called '3 Doors Down'. And the choral movement goes along the lines of, ' I'm a Loser.'

[MrToradragon]

@leosvijacka Can be, and I agree. But in many parts of Europe, especially east parts of EU (Hungary Slovakia...) it can remind all times of Austria-Hungary with all negative connotations.

[elcholito587]

I am playing this for my Winter Concert next week! WOO

[lilka1952]

Cudowny marsz,rewelacja..

[Universkate1]

Au concert du nouvel an à Vienne,c'était drolissime de voir les homme en habit et les femmes en toilette d'apparat,dans leurs mains et aussi taper des pieds!!!Le plus drôle c'est que cette année là,le chef ,un petit asiatique,très"sautillant" en a remonté ses bretelles tout en dirigeant son orchestre.....Et vive la musique N....de D.....!!!!!

CUNT

[ShinXari]

This toghether with the Blue Danube would be my favorite songs EVER.

State of the art.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

@ShinXari ..If you enjoy a good march I recommend a very fine Polish march, "Marsz Rzeczpospolita". I think you will enjoy it.

[verziehen]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 I found it and you are right I did enjoy it. Many, many thanks!

[PapagenoJuan2]

When I am President, this will be the new "Hail to the Chief " song :))

[grail68]

This makes me want to grow a pompous moustache

[CandyCrayon91]

@grail68 Don't forget to curl the tips!

[Andi7777ful]

i love this 

[lockphil11]

@LedZeppelingirl1985 Of course, he was Austrian...

[lockphil11]

@LedZeppelingirl1985 Am happy you're German, too. Of course, Strauss was an Austrian...

[DaremasterSpoodle]

Thumbs up if you recognized this song playing during the first 6AM roll call in "Battle Royale"!

[LadyElisabethx]

a classic. Always wonderful*****

[c2onthego]

Agree with Speedy (below) This is how we're meant to listen to this amazing march.

Anyone would think it was written just for THE LAST NIGHT.

[doublecabriole]

If the clapping was fine inthe K.u.K. Armee, then it's fine now.

[Robby77436]

This should be Austria's national anthem..... Much better than the current one....

[raf36304]

für Österreich. sie haben immer gute Kompositoren gehabt. Danke!

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

Another very fine march is "Marsz Rzeczpospolita" no, I can't pronounce it either...it's a Polish march and one I just stumbled across during one of my journeys through YouTube. I'm glad to see others are aboard regarding the clapping.

[whothefuckismona]

dit is gedraaid op de crematie van mn vader nu anderhalf jaar geleden is de eerste keer dat ik m nu weer luister

[nota85]

SpeedyNeutrino, you're so damned right!

[Kurtlane]

Somehow whenever I hear this march, I think of dancing horses.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I'm thankful for every time I can listen to this fine march without the distraction and obfuscation of a bunch of clods in the audience clapping along. .....tradition be damned.

[RAINBOWHORSES]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 HAHAHA! I couldn't agree more.

[whikless]

In the versions where all the audience clap along, I just want the conductor to turn round and shout "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!"

[BlitzoftheReich]

@whikless Pretre basically implied that in his Neujahrkonzert XD it made me rofl.

[celticlass04]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 Thank you, someone who finally agrees with me!!

[insightbob]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 I agree completely. Still, I would not define the audience participation as "a bunch of clods". Despite the tradition, I am always thrilled by the involvement of young and old alike. I last enjoyed Radetzky March in Trondhiem, Norway under Leonid Grinn. What great fun. Enjoy those moments if you can. In the modern era, they are so fleeting and rare. After all, the joy of the march is to inspire action, is it not?

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I've traveled throughout Europe back in the 80s and was lucky enough to attend a few concerts, some of which featured this fine march. Some clapped, some didn't. When I was in the audience along with clappers I didn't say one word about it even though I was irritated. Believe it or not the best rendition of the "Radetzky March" I heard was in Bombay, India. Nobody clapped. In any case I do recognize your point.

[sebas379]

I totally agree, who ever thought that it was fun to have audience participate in this music?

[rsalisb]

@sebas379

Yeah, I mean really - you are not supposed to enjoy yourself. Shut up, sit down and act... English. Heaven forbid people actually interact with their music.

[emquandra]

@SpeedyNeutrino43

amen to that!

[korictixor]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 those underclasses are so unruly

[RysioACF]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 I share your feelings about that

[verziehen]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 I could not agree with you more. Tradition to behave like rabble when an orchestra is performing a great work!

[TheFlyingFoodTester]

@SpeedyNeutrino43  Amen

[PekRaimund]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 Thank God this isn't VEVO

[artymowycz]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 HAHAHAHA, i enjoy the clapping in doses. have a recording with ozawa queuing everyone in on the ending.

[lichtbroeder]

@SpeedyNeutrino43 I agree, but I wouldn't call the clappers "clods". They are people taking delight in music. If you heard this march being used AS a march, you'd also have to endure sound of the stomping of shoes or boots on a street or parade ground, yet soldiers marching to it would never reduce the march to an auditory experience only. By marching (and clapping) we celebrate this music, and all that it inspires.

[ctswardour]

Good times

[EwiekeuKlavier]

One of the best European marches.

[AnteyPL]

@EwiekeuKlavier

And - suprisingly - without bunch of idiots clapping in the background !!!

[Xxbenex]

@EwiekeuKlavier the best european march!

[snakesandapples]

toujours aussi entraînante...^^'

AGF!! stolte som få...
