"Yankees in Vienna?" Don't be misled by the title: apart from the one American march on this album that serves as its title track, this is an atmospheric collection of dependably "K.u.K." marches from the heyday of the Habsburg Empire.
In this compilation, the Austrian Federal Army's Militärmusik Kärnten (directed by Militärkapellmeister Sigismund Seidl) presents TWENTY ONE rare compositions that are not usually included in mass-market releases of Austro-German martial music.
Several selections feature vocals provided by an Austrian army soldier's chorus; and as an added bonus, the album presents selections representing the Hungarian military heritage of the Dual Monarchy. The CD is accompanied by brief notes in English and German.
