O.K., this is the *fastest*, most *RUSHED*(musical terminology)version of TCHAIKOVSKY's Marche Slave

(& it's French "slave" not "slav&quot

It's always a story with me. I have disconnected from my Classical (O.K., "Romantic&quot roots for decades, have done a more "today" thing?

So I've been out of touch. Now some recent forays into YouTube have blown my mind - so many options, versions, artists, performers - do you want it slow, fast, classical, who cares?

So. In my adolescence the TCHAIKOVSKY popular (and what isn't?!1) standards were fine but became EXPECTED.

So now I'm blown away with the performances AND the technology. This ain't my adolescent Marche Slave. My old Marche Slave was dull, dreary, predictable. THIS thing is shattering, FAST, and gets FRENETIC!1 And wonderful. Did I mention wonderful?!1
