Stolz,Robert Band Marches Of The World CD

Along with Fran's Lehar and Oscar Strauss, Robert Stolz was one of the composers of Vienna's "Silver Age of Operetta." His operettas and songs are known all over the world, as well as his skills as a conductor. He was a hero to the persecuted in Hitler's Germany, often smuggling persons from Germany to Austria in the trunk of his car. In 1936, Stolz left Hitler's Germany and returned to Austria, where he wrote the music to forty sound films during the years 1930 to 1937. Stolz moved to New York in 1940, returning to Austria after the war, in 1946, where he was given a hero's welcome. Presented here is a classic recording of Robert Stolz conducting the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Police Band performing famous marches from around the world.
