  Josef Radetzky, count of Radetz - LoveToKnow 1911
'RADETZKY, JOSEF, COUNT OF Radetz (1766-1858), Austrian soldier, was born at Trzebnitz in Bohemia in 1766, to the nobility of which province his family, originally Hungarian, had for several centuries belonged.
As lieutenant-colonel and colonel he displayed both bravery and skill in the battles of the Trebbia and Novi (1799), and at Marengo, as colonel on the staff of Melas, he was hit by five bullets, after endeavouring on the previous evening to bring about modifications in the plan suggested by the "scientific" Zach.
From 1809 to 1812, as chief of the general staff, he was active in the reorganization of the army and its tactical system, but, unable to carry out the reforms he desired owing to the opposition of the Treasury, he resigned the post.

 Granta: The Radetzky March (Paperback)
The Radetzky March has a prominence in the work of the Austrian novelist Joseph Roth that is magnificent and entirely merited, and yet still troubling.
Trotta in The Radetzky March, Tunda in Flight Without End, Taittinger in The String of Pearls, are basically all one and the same: dutiful, helpless, out of their depth.
The popularity of The Radetzky March has sometimes been noted with some surprise by critics: it is actually a far bleaker, more unconsoling book than it is taken for, by no means the revanchist or reinstating celebration of a gone order, more the anatomy of a dismantlement.

Reproduced below is the formal reaction of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Josef - that is, the official Austrian proclamation of war - to news that Italy had finally abandoned her policy of neutrality and entered the war against the Central Powers on 23 May 1915.
Given Italy's earlier alliance with both Germany and Austria-Hungary an indignant reaction from both countries was to be expected; in the event Italy had also negotiated a secret treaty with the Allies in London in April 1915 which promised sizeable territorial gains for Italy were she to join the Allied cause.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most intriguing collections of Strauss waltzes and other waltzes and polkas currently available.
Musicologist and conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt is always ready to take a fresh look on venerable works such as Johann Strauss' Radetzky March, which opens and closes this two CD recording of the 2001 New Year's Day Concert at the Vienna Philharmonic's concert hall.
Certainly this is a long overdue union between Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra; Harnoncourt gives vibrant, spirited readings of classic Johann Strauss Junior works such as the "Blue Danue Waltz".

 New Year's Concert 2001 / Harnoncourt, Wiener Philharmoniker | ArkivMusic
It goes without saying that the Vienna Philharmonic plays as only it can in this music, and the enthusiastic audience clearly appreciates what must have been a very special evening indeed.
As for repertoire, Harnoncourt offers some real novelties in the form of three dances by Joseph Lanner and the original version of Johann Strauss I's Radetzky March (thus saving the more traditional edition for the encore, and allowing us to hear the piece played without the equally traditional rhythmic clapping of the audience).
The Strauss II numbers range from the familiar (The Blue Danube and Morning Papers Waltzes) to the wonderfully different (the Electro-Magnetic and Lucifer Polkas, and the overture to the operetta A Night in Venice--also a notable feature of Harnoncourt's Berlin Strauss disc).

In unison with other Italian forces, Piedmont, through Charles Albert, led troops into a series of successful skirmishes against the Austrians, which had forced them back into their stronghold of the Quadrilateral.
Here though, led by Josef Radetzky, they regrouped to defeat the uprising at Custoza, and Cavour realised that in order to defeat the Austrians he would need external aid and was not indeed the fabled 'Italia Fara Se'.
