Radetzky march, is a march of Austrian army !!

[austrian37]

The title is a bit of a misnomer. There are actually two pieces in this recording: The Radetzky march and "Rusty Buckles". Both are regimental marches adopted by 1st The Queens Dragoon Guards, a regiment emanating from several now-defunct regiments, amongst them 1st Kings Dragoon Guards, of which Emperor Franz Joseph was the Colonel-in-Chief. The Radetzky march was their regimental quick march. No case of illicit appropriation here, and no reason for Nomad4587 to award less than 5 stars. :-)

@Al88CZ

The man himself always signed "Radetzky", that's "original" enough for me.

Anyway: the proper title of the composition is "Radetzky march". And the proper Czech rendition of the man's name  is "Radecký".

@bindon4 You are absolutely right in every detail but one. The lyrics were composed in London, while the tune was of German origin - as was the King to whom the lyrics refer.

@freeman8128 I may be wrong, but I'm fairly certain our national anthem was composed in London in the 18h century in response to the imminent Jacobite invasion. Luckily they only got as far as the Midlands before an English spy convinced them to go back to Scotland, but the song, sung in theatres and pubs became so popular that it became the 1st National Anthem in the world. I'm not into comment-arguments, but if you know otherwise i'd be interested to find out.

@Zirlikus Radecky is the original as it is a Czech surname. Radecky was also not austrian, he was born in the czech land and was a czech nobleman. The only thing austrian about him is that he served in the Austro-Hungarian army.

[freeman8128]

@KingBouloo I know, but we Brits have always liked both Austrian & Prussian marches adopting many as our own - including our anthem 'God save our gracious Queen / King' aka 'Heil dir im Siegerkranz'.

Our 3 nations are of the same 'family' - we should never have fought each other.

@GuyPennebaker That you dare to use my nations' name in your vile, hate filled rants sickens me to my core. You are nothing but a jealous 3rd world brat with no understanding of the way things work. Yes, bad things happened, but to openly support terrorists on your page is a disgrace. It's no wonder even the Dutch are embarrassed to even have a connection to such a backwards nation and people.

@GuyPennebaker Your country is a crime and filth infested shit hole, your people are utterly contemptible scum, despised wherever they migrate to and your history of segregation is absolutely abhorrent and a disgrace.
