“Pietas austriaca”, the proverbial piety of the House of Habsburg was the family’s guiding star, even when composing music. Three Austrian emperors composed music with great expertise and without any of the paleness so characteristic of all things aristocratic. True excitement reverberates from their notes, brought to life by René Clemencic in the Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II.
