Programme notes: In 1848, the year of revolution, music also had political implications. While his son Strauss played barricade songs, his conservative father Johann Strauss, then Imperial Court Ball Music Director, composed the Radetzky-Marsch in honour of the victory of the Habsburg Empire. On 31 August 1848 it was premiered at the Wasser-Glacis in Vienna. The success was phenomenal. The march "was a mighty success, met with roaring applause and had to be played three times; the jovially acclaimed, genuinely Viennese trio, which was supposed to musically hint at the entry of the recruits and volunteers into the general's camp, was particularly appealing," the newspapers reported. When Radetzky was in Vienna in 1849, the emperor personally ordered the Radetzky march at a large serenade in honour of the commander. Soon included in the repertoire of the military bands, this catchy piece of music began its triumphal march. Quelle/Source: Kliment
