MUSIC VIDEO: You've never heard the "Radetzky March" like this!

Walt called from... somewhere... and I couldn't make out anything he said, just lots of shouting and swearing and the word "bubba" every now and then, whatever that means. There was another word too which I think is not allowed on Google any more (and, lest we forget, Blogspot belongs to the Alphabet People). 

But I digress. To fill this space until Walt generates some copy, we're going to the default -- a nice music video. And it's not Tuba Skinny today. We do like other kinds of music! 

This is a performance of the familiar "Radetzky March", by Johann Strauss Sr, arranged performed by British virtuoso Jonathan Scott, at the organ of The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, UK. I have never heard this played on the organ, but "played" is too mild a word to describe this heroic performance on the King of Instruments. Enjoy.

 

If you think that was amazing, how about a duet -- piano and organ -- featuring Jonathan Scott at the organ and his brother Tom on piano playing "Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody". Click here to listen and marvel.

If Walt were here he'd remind us that it's Franz Liszt, not his brother Christmas.
