Message from the orchestra:

Did you know that our recording of the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss Sr (1804-1849) can save lives because it is performed at the tempo necessary for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)?

  • Matthias says:

    This is actually how CPR was taught to us at the Austrian Red Cross. The real question is whether to go for the Carlos Kleiber tempo or a more conventional interpretation like Welser-Möst.

  • Fenway says:

    In Miami we play it too fast. Does that mean we kill people?

  • Pianofortissimo says:

    That’s correct! And that’s because panicky HIP Baroque is dangerous for yor life!

  • Marie says:

    Great !

  • Dragonetti says:

    Highly likely but the tune I was taught to use was a bit easier and delivered the right message – Stayin’ Alive’ by the BeeGees!

  • Henry williams says:

    Great orchestra as usual.

  • MR says:

    While not making such claims myself, a friend who is a healer, educated at Harvard and Brown, once told me he uses Snow Leopard Meadow with his clients. Another favorites of his are Sea of France and Nagamani.

    Catherine Glynn Benkaim, a professor and collector of Indian art, told me listening over and over to Nagamani for days was the only thing that comforted her when her husband, Ralph Benkaim, a Hollywood agent who began the collection, passed away.

    Indian masters Pandit Jasraj and Shivkumar Sharma both believed in the healing properties of music.

  • Really ? says:

    Did you know that the Vienna Philharmonic can create new lives because they talk a load of b****cks ?

  • lamed says:

    Yes, at 100 bpm.

    The classic example given in CPR classes, across the world btw, is the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive”

  • Rob says:

    What next, Concerto for organ, defibrillator and strings?
