Music #26 - Danny Kaye

Danny Kaye 
(1913 - 1987)

(1) Triumphant March in Verdi's Aida opera

(2) The above video is actually extracted from "An Evening with Danny Kaye" (1h 50m), in which Danny Kaye made the conductor business funny, whilst we could appreciate the performance of various masterpieces.

(3) A Song is Born movie
Danny Kaye acted in this movie (recommended to you), the first half of which introduced jazz to 7 classical musicians - educational and lively; the second half of the movie completed the love story :-)  

Some big jazz stars acted in the movie.  Here is one part.

Bonus:

The Triumphal March in opera format - the returning of the victorious army (with trophy and spoils) to Egypt.
