Agree! Outstanding!!

Conducter looks like a 19th century gentleman

@@Despotic_Waffle And he behaves like the German Comedian Loriot. Nevertheless a great musical performance!

WE HAVE WAYS !

What if he's actually the Kaiser's brother?

@@leonardwaga hes Alexey Karabanov as you can see hes name in the description

@@michaelhenry6525 it could be a screen name

@@michaelhenry6525 that mustache makes gim look super german and badass too

@@leonardwaga The Royal Houses were intertwined.Both the Kaiser and Tzar were cousins.

It's a march by Beethoven.

Beethoven composed it for the Bohemian militia it seems

In 1814 russian, prussian and austrian troops marched into Paris after Napoleons defeat under those tunes.

*majesticalonious Just kidding! The word you’re looking for is “majestic”, and yes, he is! 😁😎👍

@@samy7013 thanks

Concordo, o bigode dele é glorioso.

From a German perspective he looks Austro-Hungarian.

@@Rick2010100 I dont know man, he looks pretty similar to the German Kaiser Wilhelm ii

@@Despotic_Waffle The Yorkscher Marsch is the official Marsch of the German Military also the Emperor Wilhelm II nor the German Military would ever wear a waiter jacket. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gshiktmAsri-YY0.html

They are. Maybe because no country has such military history and tradition. How to characterize Germans? Perfect soldiers, musicians and scientists.

Kasurgis but also mass criminals... 😆

Grantelbart during WW1 forces were balanced

I'll have to partially agree. In my opinion the Russian is the best soldier, and in a very close second place is the German.

I personally disagree I believe French napoleonic marches are the best. Every time I hear a Prussian march the fact that France defeated them in 6 days pops into my head.

awesome, may i ask how old you are now?

Ironically, it was first composed for the Habsburg ruler of Hungary, then rededicated to the Bohemian military and only later dedicated to Yorck and his corps.

But that's not a Prussian march. It was written for the Mähren (Tscheche) Landwehr by Beethoven.

Vor allem den traumhaft schönen Mittelteil nicht unterschlagen wie viele andere Ensembles.

@@helmutkogelberger6612 Stimmt....Du hast vollkommen recht, sonst wird es nur angespielt oder für meine Begriffe eher verstümmelt. Hier, wird es sehr kraftvoll und komplett gespielt...ein Genuss!

MR world wide

That flag is also the oversimplified version of the russian flag, a example of it was used by the congress of Poland, and it was also the imperial flag for the navy

This is a German march, though.

@@ianli3027 The Royal Marines have the Preobrazhensky march (a Russian march) as their slow march

@@axsirlotl4334 Well, it is too late now, since the Bundeswehr's Wachbataillion (Guard Battalion) uses this as their official march.

I'll bet it's superb!

That won't work because the march sounds too Prussian ;-)

Karabanov seems to be a big supporter of Tsarist Russia. Btw those flags are the flags of the Modern Russian navy

@Voss_010 I looked him up, and I learned he is the conductor of the *Russian* Central Navy Band, hence the *Russian Naval flags* and the channel name: *centralnavyband.* Duh, I’m stupid. I’m an American, so I guess I just assumed it was an *American Naval Band* from the beginning. I was confused when I saw that for the first time; I was like, *”’central* navy band’? Center of what? There’s no need for a navy in the Midwest...” 😂

@@Reynaertphotos It was also used as a symbol of the Russian monarchs, an example of that was the flag of the Congress of Poland, the flag was also used by the Imperial Navy

Da kann ich mich nicht anschließen. Man merkt, dass da nur ein Schlagzeug besetzt ist statt eines großen Schlagwerkes. Der Klang ist daher etwas kümmerlich.

It depends, prussian gloria was based of a french march

@@danemon8423 What a comment - if it should have some sort of value you better name that mysterious french march.

@@schattensand it truly was inspired by a french imperial march right after the 1870 as a way to mock the french, just like how the british. The song is called "marche des cornets de la garde " if i'm not mistaking, and the begining was used in "prußen gloria" after teh war of 1870. The original "prußen gloria " wasn't like the one you cna hear today, it was closer to the french song .

@@danemon8423 You have to be more than a little bit francophile to find even a bit of similarity in those two marches. If you sue for copy right you will not even have a chance in a french court.

@@schattensand ??? sue for copyright? you that at that time it was pretty common to take inspiration from other army marches after you defeat them right? The russian did the same with some of their music.Btw even the greatest composers took samples from other musics . Prussen gloria was written after the franco prussian war , the music i told you about had become the official song of the imperial guard under napoleon III. The song was written right after the end of the war and took inspiration directly form the song from the imperial guard, and as i told you the song we can hear today isn't the original prussen gloria, it was rearranged in the early 20th century . And if you were curious enough you just have to look at the partitions to see the similarities. bt behind prussen gloria do you?

Karabanov's mustache is glorious, but Budyonny's mustache cannot be compared.
