Dear James, is it true that you are the great-great-grandson of the fabulous Imre Kálmán?!?🤔I love his music very very much, it is timeless and in a way very modern. I listen to and play Kálmán every day. Greetings from Germany
@@LeoFall1 Wow!! I am very surprised other people know about him! Yes I am his great great grandson. My daughter is the one who actually told me his works were on TH-cam. I didnt even think to look! Lol...I know he was on Napster some years ago. He is on my dad's side. Thanks for the shout out to him!
@@russelljames1486 I grew up with Kálmáns music because I lived together with my grandma. She sang a lot of his music. So did my grandaunt. Both had lived originally in Berlin. And my grandaunt was a professional singer and actress during the "roaring twenties" of the last century. As I remember she has told me that she had performed in some operettas of Kálmán, but I'm not quite sure because I was a child when she talked to me about her youth. Unfortunately she died in 1976.
Great upload; thanks. I have somewhere in my homeland a CD box set of the whole operetta but it’s so long since I heard it. I believe it was originally at the Theater an der Wien, where it was a considerable commercial “hit”. The original production calls for a vast cast and choruses, a dance corps & soloists, the usual symphonic pit orchestra and two additional musical ensembles - a jazz band and a gypsy orchestra. Kálmán wrote “Die Herzogin” in the aftermath of the great Weimar inflation (which affected Austria, too) at a time of great economic devastation and hardship. The heroic scale of the production was conceived by the composer, in part, as a way of giving dignified and gainful employment to as many singers, dancers and instrumentalists as possible, who would otherwise have been unemployed and near-starving. One must regard this as a favourable measure of the composer as a human being. The use of both gypsy and jazz musicians (and musical idioms) contributed later to Kálmán’s output being branded “entartete Musik” although, of course, his Jewish heritage was the principal reason behind the denunciation of his music. I would love to produce a revival of “Die Herzogin” at the original venue; now - again - in use as an opera stage. Eines Tages........
@@Sshooter444 Thanks. I've not been back to Wien for eight years or so; delighted if it's now in the Volksoper's repertoire. I shall be travelling to Austria more frequently from later this year so shall be sure to time a trip to catch a performance (or several) of this.

Regarding conscripts, the US instituted the draft in summer 1940 (I knew a guy who was due to complete his year's service on Dec 11 1941 -- timing not very good) so when Pearl Harbor occurred, we had an army with largely one year's training. It was another year before the army launched its first offensive, Operation Torch, which was successful but had a lot of small scale problems which still had to be ironed out. Kasserine Pass highlighted a bunch of these, after which we had a trained force with experience in the field. Basically, initial training is just the start. Then you have to practice to make the lessons become second nature, and to learn to integrate basic individual tasks into coordinated group tasks, first at the platoon, company, battlaion and brigade levels. Though divisions were involved, essentially the troops landing at Torch were still learning at the battalion and brigade levels. Point -- If Putin increases conscription, the troops will not survive long in battle if they are committed to combat before they have over a year's worth of training, they are just cannon fodder. PS. in addition to the draft, National Guard divisions were called up in the Fall of 1940. The 28th Division PA National Guard, was called up in Feb 1941, and was not committed to combat until a month after D-Day.
Mr. LeoFall1! I am a music library manager and one of our conductors found your video. He requested to play it. I wonder if this video is based on a real sheet, publicated, or did you cut the songs together and named it to be a medley? I would be very happy if you would read my words.
This is an actual published arrangement by Louis Feigel. The sheet music to this is probably long out of print but I actually have this exact orchestra arrangement note for note.
@@mmaybrown Mr. Brown, I am so glad you contacted me back. Could we continue our discussion through this email? kottatar@concertobudapest.hu I would be very interested in the already cut version. Sincerely,Renata
@@mmaybrown I hope my message finds you well! I have hope to hear more about this arrangement. You could save us much time to make the cut version ourselves from the complete operetta. I wonder if this arrangement is a performable, copyright aligned music. :) I hope it is. Please, contact me. Wish you the best, Renata
@@mmaybrown Hi! The conductor should start to learn this piece. It became quite urgent for us. Could you help me with information of the publisher or sending me a copy? Sincerely, Renata
What a great composer he was !
Love the music of Kalman
Nothing like it! Has a theme that encompasses so many strands of music.. A brass symphony…led by the delicacy of violins.
Kalman fue un gran compositor de operetas. Me encanta. Gracias
Great musical technique for all genera.
Браво! Великолепно! 👏👏👏
Honestly, consistently the best trombone music since Sousa.
Happy to see Great great Grandaddy's music live on via the interwebs

I saw it at the Volksoper in Wien c. 2005
