Strauss, R: Daphne

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Daphne and Celeste, two young girls (what, 15 ish), who are actually making money by singing (i use that term very loosely) songs. Now the song in particular which i think is just typefies what utter tosh these two are, is the Alice Cooper classic, "School's Out". Now the original was amazing, and im not even that big a fan of Cooper. But listening to D & C, its like two cats being ran over, and then being reversed on!!!

Whilst the Radetzkymarsch is always played, and indeed a New Year's Concert without the Radetzkymarsch would be like leaving "Jerusalem" or "Land of Hope and Glory" out of the running order of the Last Night of the Proms, this CD features a lot of slightly less known music. There is as ever a large proportion of Strauß in the performance, with Johann Strauß I's Radetzkymarsch opening the CD, and a different arrangement of it on a Bonus CD. To celebrate the bicentenary of Joseph Lanner, the programme also contains his "Die Schönbrunner", "Jägers Lust" and "Steyrische Tänze", which are typical of the Waltzing tradition that Lanner and Johann...
