A CD from Hungary's acclaimed HUNGAROTON label featuring world premiere recordings of sixteen marches, as well as two lengthy potpourris of Hungarian national songs, by Austro-Hungarian Army bandmaster and composer Jakob Pazeller (1869-1957) - an Austrian native who made his life and musical career in Hungary.
Who was Jakob Pazeller? As music director of the K.u.K. Infantry Regiment 33 at Arad, Transylvania, he was a regular conductor at the nearby spa of Herkulesbad, where he entertained (and composed for) the cream of Habsburg- and European high society in the twilight years of the Dual Monarchy. The King of Spain commissioned a march for his own wedding from Pazeller, and the Emperor Franz Josef himself was personally acquainted with him.
Pazeller's unpublished manuscripts were found fifty years after his death in obscurity in Communist Hungary; a selection of his works, in new arrangements for modern military band, is presented here by the Central Wind Orchestra of the Hungarian Army under the direction of three of its leading conductors. The CD is accompanied by an eight-page booklet with notes in English, German and Hungarian.
